Join us this World Wildlife Day as we delve into the cutting-edge realm of digital innovation in wildlife conservation! In this special episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Lydia Katsis, Senior Technical Specialist at the Zoological Society of London’s Conservation Technology Programme.

From advanced tracking technologies to innovative data analytics, we uncover the diverse digital solutions driving wildlife protection into the future. However, amidst the excitement of technological progress, a stark reality looms: an estimated 3.7 billion people, nearly half of the world’s population, lack access to the Internet. This gaping digital divide disproportionately affects the least developed countries, which ironically harbor the richest biodiversity. This presents a formidable challenge in harnessing the full potential of digital technologies for collective conservation efforts. In our quest to safeguard species teetering on the brink of extinction, we must prioritize equal opportunities for all. Our mission extends beyond wildlife preservation; it encompasses fostering digital inclusion by 2030. Join us as we unravel the critical intersection of digital advancement and wildlife conservation, forging a path toward a more inclusive and sustainable future for all inhabitants of our planet.
