CyberTracker Conservation
CyberTracker Conservation is a non-profit organisation whose vision is to promote the development of a worldwide environmental monitoring network. CyberTracker software has been downloaded more than 30 000 times in more than 75 countries.
Climate change, pollution, habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity may have serious impacts on human welfare. To anticipate and prevent negative impacts will require ongoing long-term monitoring of all aspects of the environment.
Our mission is to improve environmental monitoring by increasing the efficiency of data gathering and improving observer reliability.
Scientists and conservationists benefit from the icon interface enabling significantly faster data collection than text interfaces or written methods. Involving scientists and local communities in keys areas of biodiversity, CyberTracker combines indigenous knowledge with state-of-the-art computer and satellite technology. Using CyberTracker in citizen science will help to improve environmental monitoring and develop public awareness.
CyberTracker is also being used in education, farming, forestry, social surveys, crime prevention and disaster relief.
CyberTracker software can be used on smart phones and handheld computers to record observations of any level of complexity. It allows anyone, regardless of their field of interest, to customize a series of screen interfaces specifically adapted to their own data collection needs.
CyberTracker's unique design allows users to display icons, text or both, which makes data collection faster. It also allows field data collection by non-literate users and school children.
