An optimized toolset for protected area management
Many protected areas face pressure from illegal activities including poaching, encroachment, and deforestation. Conservation solutions streamline the collection of field observations and provide a digital chain of custody for law enforcement actions informing real-time monitoring dashboards to support timely decision-making.
Location-enabled wildlife field observations help protected area managers evaluate the effectiveness of management actions. Monitor trends derived from field information through spatial analysis to inform and evaluate protected area management strategies. Conservation solutions enable a data-driven approach to wildlife management in protected areas.
Protected area management occurs within a complex tapestry of human-populated and wild landscapes. Historic encroachment into natural areas and corridors and, in rare cases, recovery of predator populations has led to increasing instances of human-wildlife conflict in local communities. Conservation solutions support the collection and monitoring of incidents adjacent to the protected area and support planning and actions to reduce conflict.
Conservation land management involves protecting natural areas while providing both basic infrastructure for visitors and recreation opportunities within national parks. Conservation solutions support planning of infrastructure projects, maintenance programs, and the efficient management of staff and resources essential to protected area management operations.
