The East Africa Community is WILDLABS first regional hub. This group creates a space to foster connections and collaboration between conservation and technology players in the Silicon Savannah.
🌍 Conservation technology is transforming how we protect wildlife, but are we thinking carefully enough about the risks? Drones, camera traps, GPS trackers, acoustic sensors, AI, and remote sensing have become essential tools for conservation practitioners around the world. They help us monitor species, detect threats, and respond faster than ever before. But these same technologies can also introduce unintended risks, and in some cases, can be exploited by those seeking to harm the very wildlife we're trying to protect. 🦏 Input now and/or join the discussions/research. Â

There are educators everywhere working to teach and train 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. By working on interdisciplinary teams we can help develop teaching and training tools to help expand the field of Conservation Technology creation.

- Women in Conservation Forum: 3 Weeks Today!!
Welcome to the home of the Women in Conservation Technology Programme (WiCT)! This is a space for the women and mentors involved in the programme to keep in touch, share updates and resources, and problem solve together! Drop into our group to say hello and keep in touch with the programme and participants.
We are launching the 2026–2027 Women in Conservation Technology Programme to support early-career Tanzanian women in conservation to build their skills, explore new technologies, and join a dynamic network shaping the future of the field. This refreshed edition features an expanded curriculum incorporating cutting-edge technologies and critical data skills, alongside an increased cohort size to broaden access, strengthen collaboration, and amplify the collective impact of women advancing conservation efforts across Tanzania. DEADLINE EXTENSION: Applications now close 13 May 2026.
