Online Workshop: Conservation Technology

On Friday, March 27th, meet the Hack the Poacher team in this free online webinar to discuss the latest innovations in conservation technology. This interactive event offers the opportunity to make connections in the conservation tech field, brainstorm collaborative efforts for projects, and pitch these ideas to your peers. You'll also learn about Hack the Poacher's innovative prototypes for an advanced sensing network capable of tracking poachers in national parks via cellphone. This free event was originally planned as a session for SXSW 2020 in Austin, and is now being made available to all through Zoom. Register today to join the conversation!

Online Event

Did you know the COVID-19 pandemic is caused by illegal wildlife markets? This is just one example of how we seriously need to evaluate our relationship with (endangered) animals. At Hack The Planet we work together with WWF in the area of (wildlife) conservation. We are constantly looking for new and additional ways to step up our game.

You can help us explore new ideas on how to use technology and super-charge conservation efforts. Join us in this online workshop and contribute to wildlife conservation!

Register for this workshop on Zoom.
