Capacitación y educación en tecnología de la conservación / Canal de noticias

En todas partes hay educadores que trabajan para enseñar y capacitar a la próxima generación de estudiantes con conciencia de la sostenibilidad. Ya sea en entornos formales (educación primaria y secundaria, pregrado y posgrado) o de manera informal, como la divulgación científica, ahora es más importante que nunca impulsar la educación en Tecnologías de la Conservación. Al trabajar en equipos interdisciplinarios, podemos contribuir al desarrollo de herramientas de enseñanza y capacitación para expandir el campo de la creación de Tecnologías de la Conservación.

New "Human Dimensions" group on Wildlabs?

Hello everybody!I would like to propose the creation of a Human Dimensions group on WILDLABS.This idea came out of the social sciences lunch at ICTC 2026 in Lima...

Hi Matt,

I would definitely be interested in joining this group.

One thing I often find is that we spend a lot of time discussing technologies and ecological outcomes, but much less time discussing the social and institutional processes that ultimately shape whether those technologies succeed or fail.

I think a Human Dimensions group could be a great space to connect people working on governance, policy, stakeholder engagement, values, and other topics that are often spread across different communities.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops!

yes, this group is definitely needed!

WOOHOO ITS WORKING!! Tech finds undetected decades old Alien Invasive Parent Plants in indigenous forest!

Great news everyone!! In November 2024 GeoWing Academy scanned 239 hectares of forested valleys using an off-the-shelf DJI Phantom 4 drone. The resulting...

This is a very promising result. The use of drones for detecting invasive species demonstrates strong potential for improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy. In a country like Brazil, where ecosystems are significantly affected by invasive species such as Hovenia dulcis (Japanese raisin tree) and Pinus spp., this technology could become a valuable tool for early detection and management.

It certainly is! The great thing about it too is that the aerial detections often lead to more ground detections when teams are locating the trees from the map data and by using the ground app, they are able to mark the locations and photograph the newly discovered aliens and sync it to the existing maps as well. This allows for truly comprehensive removal and monitoring data capture.

Citizen science tool for microplastic mapping in underserved regions

Hi everyone, I'm a high school student working on a free citizen science tool for microplastic pollution in underserved regions. The idea is simple: a mobile web app where anyone...

Hi Mykhailo. That citizen science tool seems interesting. But, how do you expect people to detect microplastics (ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm in size)?

APPLIED BIOACOUSTICS IN CONSERVATION AND PRACTICE

Explore bioacoustics in the heart of Kruger National Park: A two-week field course offered in collaboration with the Organization for Tropical Studies and the African Bioacoustics Community

Hi Ethan, 

Sorry i missed your message. Absolutely. We’ll cover how to choose recording equipment for longer-term deployments, including the key trade-offs (cost, durability, battery life, storage, etc.) and how these link to different monitoring goals. The focus is very much on practical, real-world use.
