Access to Biodiversity Monitoring Tools
Last updated
Last updated
Biodiversity data is scarce, especially in the Global Majority. To address this, communities need incentives to collect and share biodiversity data, making it part of their livelihood through supplemental income.
We provide training and support for deploying biodiversity monitoring tools like:
Drones
AudioMoths
Support includes:
Written Guides and Online Mentoring.
For select funded projects, we offer in-person mentoring, co-design, and tool enhancement.
While we do not provide hardware (such as drones, AudioMoths, phones, or laptops), community partners can use —which we offer capacity-building for—to acquire their own equipment.
Communities that collect and share biodiversity data publicly can earn CDI payments.
Payments are facilitated through blockchain and crypto, ensuring speed, accessibility for unbanked communities, and transparency.
This payment model applies to specific collaborations and projects.
Communities can use this for accountability, showcasing funded work transparently.
Public data can also help attract new funders.
We may provide support for data analysis and visualization.
Data can also be utilized during our hackathons, fostering innovation and new conservation solutions.
