Co-developing Data Technology for Inclusive Conservation in Eastern Serengeti
January 2022 to December 2023
Together with local communities, TEST aims to co-develop a mobile app, data collection and management protocols. This serves the interests of communities by providing a platform for research and information sharing on wildlife monitoring, livestock grazing strategies, and protected areas management.
This project is funded by the Centre for Indigenous Conservation and Development Alternatives (CICADA) at the University of McGill, Canada.
