Technology is a critical enabler for the work we do in integrated land management and ecological assessment and monitoring. By converting data into information and providing real time feedback, it creates greater understanding of the impacts of land management.
Practical tools for data capture in predator control, environmental monitoring of farms and water quality monitoring can engage communities, improve land management and environmental performance.
