Dear All,
At WWF our aim is to maximize the effectiveness of technology for conservation, ecological research, and citizen science by providing experienced as well as new users with accessible and freely available, peer-edited guidance. The initial three guidance documents - camera trapping, passive acoustic monitoring, and remote sensing with lidar - are part of a larger series, which will soon also include guidelines for satellite remote sensing and tracking tags and collars. You can access the guidelines via ResearchGate or here: https://www.wwf.org.uk/conservationtechnology/. In addition to the guidelines, the webpages also provide a brief introduction to each technology, answers to FAQs, and an interactive decision tree to help users determine how best to use each technology. Whilst the guidelines are designed to aid practitioners in the field, they should also be useful for novices that require a basic introduction to the technologies, highly skilled professionals that are primarily interested in the latest best practice guidelines for research, and citizen scientists that may have questions about what the technologies can and cannot do.
