- 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.

- Conservation Technology - Paris, France
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the field to analyse information collected by wildlife conservationists, from camera traps and satellite images to audio recordings. AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings - hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data. The AI For Conservation group is intended to unite and inspire all WILDLABS community members—whether already involved in AI for conservation, or not—to understand how to use and/or directly contribute to open-source research and development efforts.

- Open-Source Solutions for Amphibian Passive Acoustic Monitoring: Lessons from Patagonia
Monitoring amphibians across the temperate forests of Patagonia presents significant logistical and technical challenges. Remote locations, harsh environmental conditions, and the large volumes of data generated by Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) can make long-term biodiversity surveys difficult to implement and maintain. In addition, environmental data often relies on multiple independent devices, increasing costs, complexity, and logistical demands in remote field conditions. Through the WILDLABS Awards 2025, our team explored practical ways to address these challenges by combining open-source hardware, environmental sensing, and AI-assisted acoustic analysis.

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.

- What Happens When Conservation Technology Leaves the Lab? Lessons from Training Rural Communities in the Brazilian Cerrado
Thanks to support from the WILDLABS Awards through the Boring Fund, funded by Arm, we were able to deliver a conservation technology training programme designed to make wildlife monitoring tools more accessible to rural communities.
