Software and mobile applications are equally as important to conservation technology as the hardware used in the field. Increasingly developed specifically for #tech4wildlife needs, there are mobile apps and software options designed to help with protected area management, wildlife crime reporting, and anti-poaching patrol planning, data analysis, community science, data visualization and GIS mapping, outreach and engagement, and even conservation storytelling.
Likewise, mobile games have opened up new avenues for engaging the public in conservation efforts, allowing for immersive storytelling and interactive experiences. By combining cutting-edge technology and important conservation information with a media form already familiar to the public, conservationists are finding exciting ways to make audiences feel personally invested in critical species and habitats.
Whether you're looking for software and mobile app developers to help you with your own conservation tech needs, you have questions about development, you're looking for resources, or you'd like to share your own app, software, or gaming tools, this is the group for you!

Ideas on options for offline apps for knowledge sharing
27 October 2020 8:47am
29 January 2021 10:55am
Ah, if internet is a problem you are somewhat limited. You could leverage a caching solution but it would still require internet at some intervals.
29 January 2021 12:24pm
You never mentioned the sporadic internet access constraint, Nadia; otherwise, I would have mentioned an addtional solution component to alleviate the problem.
For nearly 3 decades, UNIX, Linux and its variants have had a marvelous tool called rsync. It has the ability to automatically replicate file content across networks based on configured rules. While MediaWiki (running on a Linux server) would be the optimal knowledge sharing repository for this initiative, IMO, the client desktops/laptops would just need the appropriate rsync client tools (Cygwin for Windows is available as FOSS) to replicate files automatically from the repository when internet connectivity is available.

Hi, I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have any other suggestions. Most of the solutions suggested have been a struggle due to the need to download each and every file to each device in order to be accessible offline (we have limited internet) and also in order to have multiple levels of user access.
