- Gender Equality in Conservation
Meet the women and men supporting gender equality in conservation #tech. Here is a panel discussion the Women in Conservation Tech (WiCT) led in November 2022, during the EarthRanger User Conference (ERUC). Opening up on women's challenges in #conservation is a step towards equality. However, cultural norms and traditional #gender roles continue to pose challenges to achieving full gender equality in #kenya and the globe.

Are you looking for ways to grow your conservation technology knowledge and skills this year? Tech Tutors: East Africa is your opportunity to learn practical skills and steps that will become the building blocks you need to push your conservation tech work and research forward!
Our new season of Tech Tutors begins this week and will run through to the end of May! On the 9th of February 2023 (4-5pm, EAT | 1-2pm GMT), Arthur Muneza will take us through our first tutorial: How do I fit GPS satellite tags to remotely monitor giraffe movements? With lessons from his work with the awarding winning Twiga Tracker Initiative, Arthur will provide the foundational tools and technical know-how of starting off a biologging project.
