About Wildtech

WildTech.mongabay.com, a joint initiative of Mongabay, RESOLVE’s Biodiversity and Wildlife Solutions program, and the World Resources Institute (WRI), intends to help accelerate the flow of information among scientists, forest and wildlife managers, technology innovators, and interested groups and catalyze the development and application of technologies for forest and wildlife conservation.

This news site and online hub will bring you stories of the innovative use of emerging and existing technologies in the field and facilitate the interaction of these groups to solve conservation challenges, in hopes of bringing the most promising solutions to scale. We aim to make information on relevant technology options for research, conservation, and management easily accessible to a global audience and encourage you to share your experiences with various tools and techniques that may help others.
