There are educators everywhere working to teach the next generation of sustainability minded students. Whether in formal settings (K-12, undergraduate, graduate) settings or informally as science communication now it is more important than ever to work towards advancing Conservation Tech education.
The United Nations released the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have served as a framework for educators in this space. Educating with a sustainable focus is a challenge whether you are interested in engineering, public policy, AI, or behavioral biology and we hope that this group will help you grow and exchange your ideas with other current and future educators.
This WILDLABS group has been set up by folks who are working to develop education toolkits, platforms, modules, and more in the conservation space. These tools can be at any level of development.
We hope you will become part of this group to share case studies, exchange ideas, and work towards developing a curriculum for future conservation tool crafters.

Case study: Juicy Marbles. 3 business hacks to learn for your nature NGO or business from the rising plant meat star.
7 July 2023 8:38am
Before we start.
1. I don't get paid for this. I think they just got plenty of best practices for us we can use to combat the biodiversity crisis.
2. What has plant meat to do with biodiversity? Actually, a lot. Livestock production is the single most significant driver of habitat loss.
But here the hacks.

Looking for partner_Project in Madagascar

12 December 2022 3:57pm
Salama Ny Aina! And misoatra betsaka to Andrew for mentioning me! I do passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in Madagascar, focused on lemurs now but hoping to bring in collaborators for other taxa as well as whole-soundscape analyses. I mostly work in the southeastern rainforest corridor but have collaborators working in the south and in the Masoala peninsula.
I actually developed a bunch of PAM training materials (in Malagasy, French & English) that can all be found on my website: https://carlybatist.commons.gc.cuny.edu/pam-training/. Feel free to use any of it! There is a video recording from a PAM training workshop I did at Centre ValBio as well as the slides from the presentation, a list of papers representing different case studies, lots of resources, etc.
I would love to chat further if you'd like too! Feel free to reach out: [email protected]. Veloma for now :)
27 June 2023 12:43pm
Thank you all for your response.
The idea is one training per year (2-3 days). Topic will vary depending likely. My first idea is something such GIS for conservation or remote sensing for example.
The PAM looks great. I will send you an email.

Hi Ny Aina, @StephODonnell and I run a Women in Conservation Technology training program for women in East Africa (to date, we've worked with Kenyan and Tanzanian students). I'd be happy to talk through our process if you're interested!

You are protecting & restoring nature, but no one cares. 4 hacks to change it.
No matter if you do biodiversity monitoring, coral gardening, mangrove plantation, animal GPS tracking, rewilding, etc. you want people to care about this issue as much as you do.
But by now, you realize you don’t get the attention or the financial support you hoped for.

@richardturere Hello :) and a warm welcome to WILDLABS! Here is the link to @Lekato Samuel Lekato - Founder and Chairman, Enduata Emaa CBO. Sam is interested in conservation technology focused on how to keep wild animals away from community homesteads in Amboseli and I reckon your Lion Lights could help. I'll let you two take on the conversation from here. Thanks!
