Achieving conservation outcomes at scale - Broad scale adoptions of conservation technologies

Why attend
Technology provides a new opportunity to conduct conservation work in all new ways. Remote sensing, new types of communications, and software that allows for the sharing and analysis of information between organizations make it possible for projects that span enormous areas to be undertaken and organized, creating possibilities for data collection
HideDescription
In this session we will discuss SMART and EarthRanger software and how they’re used by a variety of organizations to collect, analyze and leverage data sourced across countries and even whole continents. After an introduction to the tools themselves, an impressive array of conservationists from around the world will discuss how their programs are enabled by these technologies, and share their experiences about how they’ve used technology to scale their work from individual, on-the-ground teams all the way to country-wide implementations and collaborations between organizations and governments.
