Had a great time chatting with Dr. Meredith Palmer & Elecia White on the Embedded podcast. The theme was conservation technology & we felt it was important to have the tech & ecology side represented.

We’re thrilled to be hosting our first-ever in-person workshop on Boombox at ICCB 2025!
Join us for a free, day-long workshop on Boombox, one of the newest additions to the conservation tech toolkit. It's used in animal behavior, deterrence, & HWC research.

Jacinta and I are really honored to be two of the judges for the 2025 WILDLABS Awards. It's such an amazing program and is giving life to many fascinating conservation technology projects.
A recent maintenance trip to our main sensor network deployment site in Australia. It's a collaborative project with Bush Heritage and Monash University and we've been collecting data on the reserve since 2023. We're looking at how the ecosystem & soil respond over time after restoration works.
Archived description of the US National Nature Assessment report:

Looking forward to reading the US National Nature Assessment report and awed by the courage of the people involved that are trying to publish it, even after it had been killed.

Hi everyone.
We're proud to announce we'll be hosting a free, day-long workshop on wireless sensor networks for conservation at ICCB 2025 in Australia. It's a hands on workshop tackling the complex topic of setting up field comms networks in rugged outdoor environments. Hope to see you there!

Great news for amphibians and hopefully a turning point for this population that almost got wiped out by the frog fungus.

Climate change keeps throwing us more curveballs - well more like high, hard fastballs right at our head - and we don't pay enough attention to make the necessary changes. Once upon a time The Blob was a sci-fi film. Now it is a disaster in the sea. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/c...
A fascinating article that highlights the promise and problems of open source environmental projects.

I’ve been looking for a restoration ecology starter pack and someone finally pointed me to it. In case you’re also interested, here it is :)
We have a few near our place
Would anyone know if there was an ecological restoration starter pack floating around somewhere?
I created a #StarterPack for folks who work with technology in conservation and ecology. This is not an exhaustive list so please let me know if I forgot anyone or if you would like to be included! I am excited for this community to grow here! @wildlabsnet.bsky.social

A small but mighty list of voices in fisheries conservation, from all sides of the conversation. Add your name please if I missed you and you’d like to be added.

It’s very disappointing to hear this. The sad thing about a lot of conservation technology is that they can also be used for human surveillance just as much as wildlife monitoring.

Hmmm…I’m just following all the ecology starter packs I see. Feed be damned, I’ll filter the firehose later!
We have a starter pack for scientists using camera traps! 📸 If you work with camera trap data in any way, either collecting data, running ecological models, training CV/ML models, let me know I’ll add you to this list 🎉 go.bsky.app/CbJkbVw
We use and modify camera traps for wildlife behavioral research
One of the perks of working in the field. You get a lot of interest from the locals...
We work on human-wildlife conflict and invasive species projects. Does that count?
Just finished the survey. Make your voice heard :)
