Description
The Wildlife Movement Institute fosters a community of scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts working to create low-cost, open-source tools for tracking animals and studying their movements. The organization addresses the high cost and limited accessibility of current animal tracking systems, which hinder researchers' ability to gather vital data for effective wildlife conservation. Through community forums, tutorials, and workshops, members engage in discussions about animal tracking technologies, learn to design wildlife telemetry projects, and build their own affordable, do-it-yourself wildlife trackers. The community serves researchers, conservationists, and hobbyists interested in wildlife telemetry, encouraging the sharing of successes, challenges, and new methods for analyzing and visualizing wildlife movement data.
