- What Are Innovative Technologies, and Why Should Conservationists Care?
Conservationists use tools like drones, satellites, and camera traps to monitor ecosystems and scale their impact. But new challenges like transparency, funding gaps, and engagement remain. Web 3.0 technologies offer solutions, but adoption can be complex. Understanding their benefits and barriers is key.

- INSTANT DETECT 2.0 - ALPHA TESTING
The worst thing a new conservation technology can do is become another maintenance burden on already stretched field teams. This meant Instant Detect 2.0 had to work perfectly from day 1. In this update, Sam Seccombe describes the extensive Alpha testing conducted at Whipsnade Zoo to validate the performance and find the limits of ZSL's Instant Detect 2.0 system.

- Can/Should UAVs Be The Answer To Urbanisation & Wildlife Conflicts
Over the years, a large number of developments have gone up in the area that I live in and the municipality is not doing what they should when it comes to upholding the laws that have been put in place to protect the wildlife in this protected paradise. Is anyone else around the world facing this in their communities? Can/should drones and open source software be the answer to better monitoring of construction companies that are in breach of wildlife regulations? I would like to get others thoughts on this subject as it can be complicated. GeoWing Academy has been using drones and opensource software to monitor some of the changes and damages to the environment to illustrate the issues to the local municipality and government. There is a PDF version of the article attached should the images in the article not be visible

- Automated Image analysis
This project aimed to reduce human-carnivore conflict by building a resilient boma for a vulnerable family in Hunyari village. It served as a model for other families, promoting stronger livestock protection. The initiative included community engagement on predator deterrence and sustainable building practices. The success of the pilot is inspiring others to adopt similar solutions.
