Technology for Monitoring Wildlife

Technology is essential to and so incredibly varied across all walks of life, and its use in monitoring wildlife is no different. Technology can not only gather data that we would otherwise be unable to attain, such as behaviours gathered from trail camera footage and GPS data from a tagged bird, but it has the ability to enable a diverse audience to monitor and record wildlife, allowing us to reach new places. But critically, it enables us to monitor wildlife in a way that aids conservation and nature’s recovery more widely. Much of what you will read in this module can be incorporated onto the farm.
