Software plays an increasingly vital role in conservation, helping to protect and manage biodiversity through innovative technological solutions. It also facilitates collaboration among researchers, local communities, and governments, empowering them to develop sustainable conservation strategies. However, many of us working in conservation tech don't have the benefit of a large team of software experts to collaborate with or bounce ideas off of. We aim to change that.
This group is for anyone interested in applying software to conservation and wildlife research. Whether you're a developer eager to contribute to conservation or a newbie with valuable data and ideas but limited software experience, this group connects people with diverse expertise. It provides a space for asking questions, sharing resources, and staying informed about new technologies and best practices. We are also committed to supporting technologists and conservationists from the Global South, ensuring that everyone has access to the tools, knowledge, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully.
Our goal is to foster collaboration and avoid "reinventing the wheel" by sharing solutions, whether it's an application, design approach, or a simple script. We also aim to lower barriers to entry by offering mentorship and guidance and providing feedback on technical ideas. This supportive community is a place to learn, connect, and contribute to the advancement of conservation through software. Whether you're looking for software and mobile app developers to help you with your conservation tech needs, have questions about development, are looking for resources, or would like to share your own app, software, or gaming tools, this is the group for you!
