FAO: Tracking Locust with Tech
Through the partnership with EarthRanger and 51 Degrees Limited, the UN's Food and Agriculture agency protected crops and pastures from an unprecedented locust outbreak.
Protected areas are vast expanses of land with wildlife facing threats of deforestation, community encroachment, poaching, climate change, and illegal trading of wildlife. It’s vital for protected area managers to be able to monitor wildlife and their natural habitats in real-time.
EarthRanger collects, integrates, and displays all historical and available remote sensing data available and combines it with reports from the field to provide one unified view of collared wildlife, rangers, enforcement assets, and infrastructure within a protected area.
Our solution is very effective at monitoring and studying wildlife movement across ecosystems, ranging from very specific areas to continent-wide migrations.
