Documentary on Conservation

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the field to analyse information collected by wildlife conservationists, from camera trap and satellite images to audio recordings. AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings - hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data.

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

Drone & ai use for uncovering illegal logging camps

Wildlife crime is a complicated challenge, so it's no wonder that the conservation technology community has explored solutions with every type of technology, all with the aim of predicting, preventing, and stopping crimes like poaching, illegal logging and fishing, and the sale of animal products like ivory. Join our Wildlife Crime group to meet others who are working on potential solutions to this global challenge and to add your own expertise to the conversation!

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.

From Field to Funder: How to communicate impact?

The number one problem in nature conservation is the need for more money or access to funding. This group aims to help all WILDLABS community members with funding and financing their projects. The group is called Funding and Finance to draw attention to the possibilities of funding (i.e., grants, awards, and other gifts) and finance (loans and venture capital investment in nature conservation projects and start-ups). These topics should be seen in their wider contexts, including that of a project or organisation’s income or business model.

Human-Wildlife Conflict

Latest Discussion
Automated Image analysis

Human-wildlife conflict is a significant challenge that only grows as habitats shrink and other issues like climate change alter the natural world. Technologies like biologging gear have become essential for proactively addressing human-wildlife conflict before it escalates, and tech projects that seek to understand population ranges and behaviour can help people learn to live with wildlife as part of our own environments. If you're interested in using technology to prevent human-wildlife conflict, this group is the place for you!

FROM VULNERABILITY TO SECURITY: INSPIRING COEXISTENCE THROUGH A RESILIENT BOMA

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.

Please take 2-minute survey on undergraduate education in Movement Ecology

Animal movement technologies are revolutionizing our understanding of wildlife, revealing insights like migration patterns, key corridors, and the impacts of mounting pressures on natural systems. As we continue to develop these tools and work toward translating movement data into actionable insights, coordination between efforts is essential. This group is a place for the animal movement community to connect and discuss our efforts to advance the field.
