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.

Hi everyone,
Trying to revive this conversation. Has anyone any leads on car manufacturers, foundations, NGOs, etc who support buying (or repairing) vehicles for conservation?
Thanks,

oh shoot, how did I lose track of you on my list? Sorry - you should have an invite today.
19 June 2021 11:47am
Alright - everyone who has asked for an invite on any social platform *should* have a calendar invite in their email from me (it'll be from my @fauna-flora.org email). If I've somehow missed you, can you please shout?

Hey Stephanie, I remember this idea being kicked around and I indicated interest some time ago, but if I am not on the list you have going, I would love to passively follow, appreciating the timezones likely will be difficult for me to follow live from Australia.

Hi Oliver,
We are coming down, and I was just wondering... Seeing as as are no longer un the EU (very sad face) it might be a good idea for us to get cards and flyers printed by a local company rather than trying to bring them through customs ourselves.
Do you know of any local helpful printing companies?
See you there!
Cris.
30 July 2021 1:57pm
Will be there virtually! Not in the EU so unfortunately wouldn't be able to go with COVID restrictions, but looking forward to connecting with folks online!

Hi. I can give a brief blurb on the state of wireless sensor networks if you want. I don't think it will be a very deep dive due to time limitations, but can discuss how we're seeing it in terms of field deployment of wireless sensor networks.

Hi Helga,
We've currently paused our Journal Club sessions while we're in the final stages of testing and launching our new community platform. We'll definitely be brining it back soon - maybe April? I'll let you know how you can join once it's back up and running!
