This group is home to the protected area management tools that bring data collection, analysis, and reporting together to enable frontline conservation work in real-time. These integrated systems include many tools and topics related to other community groups, so if you're interested in this space make sure to check out our Sensors and Connectivity groups as well.
Resources for Getting Started:
- Watch the recording of our virtual meetup on Networked Sensors for Security and Human-Wildlife Conflict Prevention, including talks from WWF, SmartParks, and Sensing Clues.
- Check out this Introduction to SMART on our YouTube channel.
- Hear about the work Wildlife Protection Solutions is doing in this space.
- Watch Ted Schmidt's lunchtime lecture on Tech Readiness and Protected Area Management Tools.
- For a marine perspective, watch Max Schofield's Tech Tutors episode: How do I use open access remote sensing data to monitor fishing?

Netty,
I was recently working with a client integrating Internet of Things hardware alerts through EarthRanger to automatically create a work order and dispatch fieldworkers to deal with the alert issue. Unfortunately the client has become very busy and the work put on hold, but we are interested in completing the integration to the benefit of all those using EarthRanger. Do you have a contact at EarthRanger who we could deal with directly?

Hi!
I am not aware of any such connected loggers/recorders but they would be nice.
The AudioMoths have been revolutionary in providing audologging at a low cost but they take a lot of "data muling" (carrying SD cards in and out of the field sites) and swapping of batteries.
Cheers,
2 February 2023 7:50pm
Hi Lars, thanks for the response. We are using lots of Song Meter Micro's atm and they have proved to be resilient. Just need something which doesn't involve going on site regularly - but get the data off.
3 February 2023 7:04pm
Rainforest Connection's (RFCx) Guardian devices may be of interest. They are solar-powered and have connectivity options for Wifi, GSM and satellite transfer. They've previously been used for detecting e.g., gunshots or chainsaws (using edge computing) and then sending positive detections/alerts to folks on the ground. RFCx also hosts Arbimon, a free, no-code software platform that facilitates analysis of audio data as well. Happy to chat more if you'd like to talk further about it!

Very Insightful Ken! Great to see how the team at Ol Pejeta has been keen on integrating EarthRanger with other software, to have everything in a single system and better monitor wildlife and manage resources.
