Maybe you've heard of Conservify, a lab that uses open-source technologies to empower local communities to solve conservation challenges? They've been deploying drones, sensor networks, smartphone apps, and acoustic buoys to monitor protected areas, wildlife, and biodiversity.

Their big news is the launch of an affordable open-source hardware and online platform called FieldKit that anyone can use to deploy a local sensing network and then mesh that with remote sensing data for real-time ecosystem monitoring: he joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss its potential plus the conservation tech he’s currently most excited about.

And please share with colleagues, communities, students, etc.
