Conservation Technology
Conservation Technology – or simply the application of technology to environmental management challenges is a new and emerging field, one that will be critical to a sustainable future. These technologies include things like wildlife camera traps, satellite remote sensing, geographic information systems, eDNA, artificial intelligence, internet of things, mobile apps, and many more! Conservation technology is already playing a crucial role in the conservation and environmental management worlds, but to date, there are no undergraduate programs that comprehensively train students to be conservation technologists. YOU will be the first students to take this journey!
