Global conservation technology community of 7,000 people in 120 countries discussing 1,300 topics like biologging, camera traps, and machine learning.

China-based technology to confirm species identity through a series of questions. It takes an extra step to outsource initially unidentifiable items to external scientists. If the product is identified as illegal by the user or external scientists, steps are taken to track down the product and trader/trafficker. The app was specifically developed to support forest police, customs officers, and others in the field to address trafficking across China.

Using artificial intelligence and the power of big data to provide scientists an unequaled view into the habits and habitats of wildlife, data that is critical for crafting smart conservation policies. It takes “animal selfies” through motion-detector cameras — known as camera traps — to snap thousands of photos a day of animals rarely seen by human eyes. As the largest camera-trap database in the world, Wildlife Insights has the potential to transform wildlife conservation by providing reliable, frequent and up-to-date information on myriad species that are largely invisible to science and conservation practitioners.

App to combat illegal wildlife trade across Asia and West Africa. It was designed to help frontline enforcement agencies, private sector employees, and the general public correctly identify, report, and handle animals and plants frequently caught in the illegal wildlife trade. WildScan hosts a comprehensive library containing information on over 600 endangered species and illegal wildlife products.

The National Whistle Blower Center’s Global Wildlife Whistleblower Program is a secure worldwide web-based platform designed to educate and incentivize potential whistleblowers in order to dramatically increase the number of high-quality confidential reports essential to detect wildlife crime and enforce the laws prohibiting illegal trafficking worldwide.

SMART enables the collection, storage, communication, and evaluation of data on patrol efforts, patrol results, and threat levels. It is a conservation area management platform, including mobile, desktop, and cloud-based components with a wide range of applications in conservation practice. This platform allows conservationists to easily collect, visualize, store, analyze, report and act on a wide range of data relevant for protecting wildlife and improving your overall conservation impact. SMART 7 is the latest version that has been released. Multiple tools are bundled in the app that can be used for different purposes.

Detects land-cover changes resulting from human activities in near real-time, producing updates every 16 days. The computational neural network is ‘trained’ to understand the normal pattern of changes in vegetation greenness in relation to terrain and rainfall for a site and then marks areas as changed where the greenness suddenly changes well beyond these normal limits.

The trade in wildlife information exchange (TWIX) online platform features a series of tools developed to facilitate information exchange and international cooperation between law enforcement agencies across Europe and Africa.

Smartphone-based supply chain traceability system developed by TreeTAG Technologies, Inc that tracks the location of logs transported from the forest to the mill. It was piloted in Guatemala and is since no longer active or available for use.
