Mobile phones to reduce HWC

Hi all,

We often think about complicated tools when people refer to the use of tech in conservation. But mobile phones can be highly valuable as well, as was proven in these articles:

Here phones are used to speed up the compensation process. Reporting of HWC is key! While in so many areas there is still a major lack of data on HWC. What other tools or methods are our there to report HWC in an acurate way?
