- New "Human Dimensions" group on Wildlabs?
The Human–Wildlife Coexistence (HWC) group is a collaborative hub for conservationists, technologists, field researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators exploring solutions to HWC globally. The group provides a space to share practical tools, pilot novel interventions, connect global communities, and amplify projects that help communities and wildlife coexist. The group emphasizes community voices, socio-economic challenges, and equitable resource sharing, ensuring human perspectives are understood alongside wildlife needs.
🌍 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.

- Engineer Searching for Biologists
Want to talk about sensors that don't quite fit into any of our tech-specific groups? This is the place to post! From temperature and humidity to airflow and pressure sensors, there are many environmental sensing tools that can add valuable data to core conservation monitoring technologies. With the increasing availability of low-cost, open-source options, we've seen growing interest in integrating these kinds of low bandwidth sensors into existing tools. What kinds of sensors are you working with?
