5 Underrated Tools for Wildlife Conservationists

As a wildlife conservationist, you know that there are many tools at your disposal to help protect and preserve the environment. However, some of these tools may not be as well-known or utilized as others. In this blog post, we'll explore five underrated tools that can make a big difference in your efforts to conserve wildlife.

1. Citizen Science Citizen science is a great way to get people involved in conservation efforts. By engaging the public in data collection and research projects, you can tap into a vast network of interested individuals who are eager to help protect the environment. There are many organizations that facilitate citizen science programs, such as Audubon's Christmas Bird Count and iNaturalist.

2. GPS Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are essential for tracking wildlife and monitoring conservation efforts in remote areas. With GPS technology, you can track animal movements, monitor habitat changes, and even detect poaching activity. There are many different types of GPS devices available, from handheld units to satellite-based systems, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

3. Drones Drones have become invaluable tools for wildlife conservationists in recent years. They allow you to get a bird's-eye view of habitats and animal movements without disturbing the animals themselves. Drones can also be used to monitor construction projects or other human activities that could impact wildlife, such as illegal logging or mining operations.

4. Social Media Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram can be powerful tools for raising awareness about conservation issues and engaging with your audience on a more personal level than traditional media outlets allow. By sharing stories about endangered species or highlighting positive changes made by conservation efforts, you can inspire others to take action themselves or simply spread the word about what needs doing.

5. GIS Mapping Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping allows you to overlay data layers such as topography maps onto aerial imagery so that you have a clear picture of any given area's natural features alongside human infrastructure like roads and buildings within it. This information can help inform decisions regarding land use planning around protected areas or identify potential conflicts between different user groups like hunters vs fishermen vs hikers etc..
