The Foundation has co-sponsored a pilot project developed by a Dutch tech collective called Hack the Planet, who use technology-driven solutions to solve challenges faced by organisations working within the humanitarian and sustainability sectors. Conservation technology largely consists of two categories: tools to monitor and study wildlife and their habitats, and solutions to mitigate or prevent negative human impacts. The fight against poaching in particular requires those human-centered solutions, along with a certain level of creativity and a thoughtful approach to the complex socioeconomic issues that contribute to the poaching crisis, impacting poachers and rangers in the region.
