About The Inventory

Thank you for your help in creating The Inventory – a WILDLABS project to build a dynamic, collaborative, wiki-inspired database of conservation technology! Our goal is to make it much easier for you to be able to search, compare specs and share experiences about different conservation technologies, data sources, R&D projects and initiatives.

The Inventory is designed to be a place for conservationists to discover what technology is available for their work, how it is being used by others around the world, and what our conservation tech community would recommend.

The content on The Inventory can range from hardware such as camera traps to useful databases or ongoing tech development projects! The three main content types include:
 

  • Products - Find tools that suit your project's needs and explore technology used globally by community members and experts. Products include hardware, software and data sources. Rate and review, share experiences, view stats, find links to purchase, and more.
  • R&D Projects - Learn about and connect with conservation tech R&D projects, developing diverse technologies to use in a wide range of environments around the world. Keep up to date on their progress and discover how you can collaborate.
  • Organisations - Browse conservation organisations, academic initiatives and technology companies working at the intersection of our fields, and discover their projects and products from throughout our community and beyond.

The Beta is the opportunity for the community to help populate The Inventory with useful content such as tech reviews! Just like Wikipedia, the information featured on the platform will grow and improve through community contributions.

As the site is in Beta, you may encounter bugs, incorrect or incomplete information throughout. We will also be rolling out new features to the site as they are built.
