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.

Hello everyone,
what a wonderful place all of you have created.
Wildlabs introducted me to so many great people. You insipred me to build lot´s of sensors
and I learned new skills along the way! Thanks to @Freaklabs for your Build Your Own Data Logger (BYODa) course.
During COVID lockdown Variety hours made my day (or evenings) and brought the conservation tec world into my basement workshop.
I can´t thank you enough @StephODonnell, @carlybatist, @Rob_Appleby , @Lars_Holst_Hansen and many more!
Beside beeing a Wildlabs fanboy I am a wildlife biologst based right on the edge of the Donau-Auen National Park betwenn Vienna and Bratislava.
I did work and study at the Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management, University of Natural Resources and Life Science Vienna (BOKU), Vienna, Austria. I now run my little companies @capreolus and micromacro as a conservation technologist bridging the gap between classical biodiversity monitoring and the emerging use of AI in remote sensing, bioacoustics and monitoring of invasive alien species.
My main fields of interest nowadays are AI | bioacoustics | camera traps | thermalvision | telemetry | UAV | LoRaWAN sensor networks and also creating VR and Gaussian spats of the places I do research.
Greetings from the woods,
Robin

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,
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.

Haha well I'm actually not sure if it's possible to differentiate different emojis currently, we only count number of reactions. If we can though, maybe we could group all the 'laughing' reactions into a laughing hyena badge?
I will try and get access to the old site and investigate these missing comments though!
