With experts across the WILDLABS community working with every type of technology and in every imaginable environment, our platform is a great place to find advice and resources on choosing what tools are right for your conservation project. Whether you're in the market to try a new camera trap model, want to experiment with drones for the first time, or need help weighing the pros and cons of data management tools, there's someone in the WILDLABS community who can help you make a smart and informed choice!
The Community Base is our general gathering group. It's the place where we cover more general, big picture topics in conservation technology - ones that don't fit neatly into our other groups. If you don't know where to post something, just post it in this group. Our moderators will move it if needed!
At our Community Base, you'll find updates from the WILDLABS team on upcoming events and opportunities, and have the chance to shape our programs and platform with your opinions. And most importantly, the Community Base is also home to our Welcome to WILDLABS thread, the best place to introduce yourself to us and the community. Stop by and tell us what you're working on!
Whether you're new to WILDLABS and want to know where to begin, or you're a longtime member looking for a handy bank of resources, our Getting Started on WILDLABS thread will be your one-stop guide to getting the most out of our platform.

So, if we haven't been contacted, means no award, right:)?
19 February 2024 3:16pm
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,

Gender representation in WILDLABS Awards 2024
@alexrood and I dived into WILDLABS Awards data to study women representation.
Here are the results and some of them are really compelling:
Gender Representation in the WILDLABS Awards 2024 Submissions | WILDLABS
Data from the WILDLABS Awards 2024 submissions confirms what our State of Conservation Tech survey unveiled: women are an underrepresented group in conservation tech.

Check out this breakdown of how the WILDLABS Awards 2024 applicants were using tech to address different conservation issues. Special thanks to @Adrien_Pajot for gathering the data!
