Wildlife monitoring for ecological conservation

 
 

“Wildlife Tracker is a cloud processing tool dedicated to
create web map animations of wildlife movements
overlaid with ocean monitoring data”

A tool for
Movement Analytics

Migration updates and habitat statistics

 
 

Applications

  • Ecology

    Conservation of habitats
    based on activity space delimitation
    with wildlife movements

  • Monitoring

    Real-time updates of tags
    with eco-geographical variables
    during migration pathways

  • Protection

    Alert system customized with
    levels of anthropogenic threats
    such as illegal captures

  • Planning

    Assessment of new conservation
    areas based on wildlife hotspots
    and migration routes

Conservation stories told with geospatial data

 

An overview of the new release Wildlife Tracker EO!

The implementation of the Wildlife Tracker in the “Galapagos Marine Reserve” brings geospatial solutions to the monitoring of Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) in collaboration with the Galapagos Whale Shark Project. The main applications are:

  • Web map animations of wildlife movements

  • Overlay with ocean data like SST, Chl-a, and O2

  • Alert system based on anthropogenic threats

  • Eco-geographical annotation of EO data - NEW!
