Powerful conservation tech tools are gathering more data in the field than ever before. But without equally powerful and effective data management and processing tools, that data - no matter how groundbreaking or interesting - will not be able to reach its full potential for impact.
Data management can sometimes seem intimidating to conservationists, especially those just getting started in the world of conservation tech or experimenting with new data collection methods. While every community member's workflow and preferred data management and processing methods may be different, this group can serve as a resource to explore what works for others, share your own advice, and develop new strategies together.
Below are a few WILDLABS events dealing with datasets collected from various conservation tech tools:
Nicole Flores: How do I get started with Wildlife Insights?
Jamie Macaulay: How do I analyse large acoustic datasets using PAMGuard?
Sarah Davidson: Tools for Bio-logging Data in Conservation
Whatever conservation tech tools you work with, and whatever your preferred data management methods, we hope you'll find something helpful and effective in this group when you become a member!

Best global species database?
10 March 2021 10:30pm
25 March 2021 8:35am
Both yes but mainly no, I liked the concept so much I "borrowed" it from "Endangered Safari" including the digitalized mammals.
Behind the scenes it is fairly simple: Just add relevant animals in a powerpoint, save as JPG, import it to
https://synoptic.design/
and name the area that looks like an animal after the animal- notice it must be the same name you have in the database and the same you will use in your reports,
Save it as a SVG- file and now you are ready to use it in tools like Power BI/ Tableau and custom lots of things like colour and it is interactive/ clickable.
Unfortunately the coverage maps in IUCN did not have good enough data quality for our national park,
So when you create a global database add a digital version of the specie and of course, always updated ranges.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing, @Nhanq !

The GBIF backbone taxonomy is composed of Catalogue of Life, ITIS, the Red List and dozens of other checklists. It's just been updated again, but this blogpost from a 2019 update does a good job of explaining what it is: https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-backbone-taxonomy/
Another more recent post can help get one up to speed on using it via our species API: https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-species-api/
