Hey everyone! I'm an informatic engineering student who recently has been thinking on what i want to apply my studies to. The idea of trying to use my knowledge on preserving wildlife is something that I liked a lot so I'm really interested on getting feedback from people who have experience on working close to this field. Have been researching a lot and i would like to get some first hand advice :D

Looking forward to get to know a lot more about this subject I'm getting so passionate about!

Hello everyone!

I'm the Platform and Community Support Project Officer at WILDLABS. I've been working here for a while now but only just introducing myself in this thread. I have a background in Evolutionary & Behavioural Ecology, with a specific interest in Sensory Ecology and how animal perceive the world. I love reading all about the brilliant work going on in this community every day. Come speak to me if you have any inquiries about using the WILDLABS website!

I'm also secretly introducing myself here so I can earn my Community Involvement 'Sprout Badge', part of a new WILDLABS Badges feature we have rolled out across the website today. Check out my post to learn more about how to earn badges!

Hi everyone. I see I haven't introduced myself here on this thread yet and to get another badge I need to.

I'm an expat New Zealander living in the Netherlands. I discovered this community last year when I was developing a Raspberry Pi based sound localizing ARU called sbts-aru. This was originally intended to be an addition to another project of mine, which is an AI on the edge security system called StalkedByTheState, which I'm now pivotting now towards Wildlife Preservation efforts. I don't actually work in the Wildlife area (yet), I work in IT.

I recently integrated the deepfaune model into StalkedByTheState and heard yesterday that there is potential interest in a province in the Netherlands in this system for it's ability to detect wolves.

Two other StalkedByTheState systems are about to be tested. One is about to land in a secret location in Denmark and another to a secret location in South Africa. All exciting stuff!

Thanks so much @JakeBurton ...Is it also possible to be 'employed' by WILDLABS for say, 24hrs? I will inturn for free, and you can fire me immediately, as long as I get the badge...
Oh and I realised, if you fire me Jake, I also get the Alumni badge!
So exciting, and so fun! What a nice idea to keep the community engaged!

Good question, I'd like to know the answer as well.  I'm inclined to think that it does mean what you say, but I could be wrong and it's still a couple of weeks away till March :)


To clarify. The answer could affect plans I have for the short term. However,  I can also understand a decision that wants to hold the tension right up to the announcement 😀 For myself I’d guess that it’s 99.9999% likely that it’s like you say. I really couldn’t imagine it being any other way.

Hi Kevin and Kim, 

Apologies for the delayed response; however, we were unable to provide specific information until today. We aim to reach out to each applicant in the upcoming weeks or months.

All the best,

Gender Representation in the WILDLABS Awards 2024 Submissions

Alex Rood
Data from the WILDLABS Awards 2024 submissions confirms what our State of Conservation Tech survey unveiled: women are an underrepresented group in conservation tech.

Interesting. The disparity at times crops from culture and this has a history especially in Africa. But all hope is not lost. Previously technical courses lacked female students....
