Have your say: Take our Tech Community Survey 2020

We’re running our third annual survey in partnership with researchers at Colorado State University as part of a larger assessment of the State of Conservation Technology. The aim of the project is to advance efforts by capturing recent progress, key constraints, and critical opportunities for growth in leveraging technology for conservation.

Along with data from our 2018 and 2019 community surveys, our previous virtual meetups, and expert focus group discussions to be held this summer, we'll submit findings from this year’s survey for peer-reviewed publication and share them back to the community in a comprehensive report.

Take the survey to contribute your thoughts on the community’s progress, needs, and opportunities for growth, and to help us shape the future of the WILDLABS community of practice.
