I just wanted to plug Monga Bay's WildTech area of their site. It's a great resource for information highly relevant to the topics in this forum. Just today there was a really insightful interview with Ian Douglas Hamilton from Save the Elephants in Kenya and his pragmantic views on technology and how it can help conservation.
Some highlights from the article:
- We shared this [elephant GPS tracking] technology with Lewa Conservancy, who probably have the most advanced anti-poaching operation in Africa... They love it.
- Technology should just be an adjunct, a help. It should not be driving.
- Can you see this system replicating anywhere else?
Absolutely. - The Elephants & Bees project is going well... The fences successfully repel elephants 80 percent
