Louis Cohen also created a conservation tech ethics beginner's guide for Tech Tutors participants, available for download here.
And in addition to the many engaging resources shared by participants during this episode, our presenters also provided several papers and other resources to help you explore the many aspects of conservation technology ethics:
- Research Paper (Doug Clark, Chris Sandbrook, Trishant Simlai): Principles for the socially responsible use of conservation monitoring technology and data
- Research Paper (Koustubh Sharma): Conservation and people: Towards an ethical code of conduct for the use of camera traps in wildlife research
- Keynote Presentation (Trishant Simlai): Conservation surveillance as a means for state repression? Psychological terror and the spectacles of fear through the use of drones in India
- The First Nations Principles of OCAP
- Doug Clark: Engaging Northern expertise strengthens ecological science
- Research Paper (Chris Sandbrook): The social implications of using drones for biodiversity conservation
