Nature Crime: Multiple
#WildEye Map
Oxpeckers is a data-driven journalism organization which sources, aggregates and analyses data to help track and expose eco-offences across international borders. #WildEye tracks seizures, arrests, court cases & convictions relating to wildlife and other environmental crimes across Europe, Asia, Southern and Eastern Africa.
SHERLOC
The SHERLOC portal is an initiative to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, the three Protocols thereto and the international legal framework against terrorism. Its legislative database provides data on multiple crime types, including crimes affecting the environment, and corruption.
WCS Conservation Technologies
Wildlife Conservation Society offers a suite of digital tools designed to support wildlife conservation efforts. It features technologies for data collection, monitoring, and analysis, including tools for tracking wildlife, detecting threats, and managing conservation projects. These resources aim to enhance field operations, improve data accuracy, and support effective decision-making in wildlife and habitat management.
Earth Ranger
Comprehensive software that offers tools for real-time data collection, monitoring, and analysis to support wildlife and protected area management. It provides a centralized platform for tracking wildlife movements, monitoring threats, and coordinating field operations, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. The software is designed to help conservation organizations and park managers improve their response to environmental challenges and better protect natural habitats.
Zoonotic Risk Predictor Machine Learning System
Pilot machine learning solutions in the process of being developed to assess and predict locations where known drivers of zoonotic disease emergence, spillover and outbreaks are likely to occur. This solution will utilise open source environmental, epidemiology and demographic data including deforestation data, disease outbreaks reports, wildife market location evaluations and regional infrastructure developments. The ML algorithms will be tailored to extract features within defined geographical coordinates, utilizing spatial analytics to assess proximity to relevant geographical entities. The algorithm will then seek to identify the importance of geographic, demographic, environmental or other factors in predicting disease hotspots.
Global Environmental Crime Tracker
The interactive Global Environmental Crime Tracker has up-to-date data collected from publicly available information, including government reports, enforcement agency press releases and non-governmental and academic papers on environmental crime. It incorporates news media coverage in several languages and other details provided by partner NGOs.
EcoCrime Map
This map from Ecocrime Data, the Igarapé Institute’s new data visualization platform, provides an overview of the ways in which environmental crime threatens forests, traditional peoples and communities, and the region’s biodiversity.
The platform offers an immersive experience showing how land grabbing, illegal logging, illegal mining and the illicit wildlife trade are harming our climate. It also reveals the many social challenges that emerge from environmental crimes, including corruption, slavery and violence.
iNaturalist
Assists with general species identification. Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed. The app shares community findings with scientific data repositories like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use community data.
Wildlabs Database
Global conservation technology community of 7,000 people in 120 countries discussing 1,300 topics like biologging, camera traps, and machine learning.
