The East Africa Community is WILDLABS first regional hub. This group creates a space to foster connections and collaboration between conservation and technology players in the Silicon Savannah.
🌍 Conservation technology is transforming how we protect wildlife, but are we thinking carefully enough about the risks? Drones, camera traps, GPS trackers, acoustic sensors, AI, and remote sensing have become essential tools for conservation practitioners around the world. They help us monitor species, detect threats, and respond faster than ever before. But these same technologies can also introduce unintended risks, and in some cases, can be exploited by those seeking to harm the very wildlife we're trying to protect. 🦏 Input now and/or join the discussions/research.

Welcome to the home of the Women in Conservation Technology Programme (WiCT)! This is a space for the women and mentors involved in the programme to keep in touch, share updates and resources, and problem solve together! Drop into our group to say hello and keep in touch with the programme and participants.
We are launching the 2026–2027 Women in Conservation Technology Programme to support early-career Tanzanian women in conservation to build their skills, explore new technologies, and join a dynamic network shaping the future of the field. This refreshed edition features an expanded curriculum incorporating cutting-edge technologies and critical data skills, alongside an increased cohort size to broaden access, strengthen collaboration, and amplify the collective impact of women advancing conservation efforts across Tanzania. DEADLINE EXTENSION: Applications now close 13 May 2026.

- Looking for partners: Improving conservation funding and reporting
The number one problem in nature conservation is the need for more money or access to funding. This group aims to help all WILDLABS community members with funding and financing their projects. The group is called Funding and Finance to draw attention to the possibilities of funding (i.e., grants, awards, and other gifts) and finance (loans and venture capital investment in nature conservation projects and start-ups). These topics should be seen in their wider contexts, including that of a project or organisation’s income or business model.
