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.

About the partners

Mongabay.com seeks to raise interest in and appreciation of wild lands and wildlife, while examining the impact of emerging trends in climate, technology, economics, and finance on conservation and development.

RESOLVE’s Biodiversity and Wildlife Solutions program facilitates novel, collaborative processes, which identify and apply innovative science and technology to improve the monitoring and protection of Earth’s biodiversity. Building on RESOLVE’S convening expertise, BWS connects conservationists with tech leaders, provides a forum for discussion and action to promote biodiversity conservation, and improves the spatial analysis of global biodiversity information.

The World Resources Institute is a global research organization that works with governments, businesses and civil society to sustain our natural resources—the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being. WRI’s Forest Legality program aims to improve forest governance and biodiversity conservation by supporting and promoting the rapid development, deployment and uptake of technologies that enable detection of illegal logging activities and greater transparency in forest product supply chains.
