At ZSL we are working at the cutting-edge of conservation to develop and apply innovative technology to protect species around the world.
From Machine Learning to Instant Wild, emerging technologies are transforming every aspect of our daily lives. ZSL is at the forefront of applying technology to enhance the work of our conservationists and scientists.
Our technical solutions are developed by working closely with our teams in the field to understand their needs. We then work with partners to fulfil these from the ground up, experimenting with breakthrough technology, building pilot products and scaling successful solutions. We take a collaborative approach, bringing together business leaders, academics, investors and technology companies; bridging the gap to co-create game-changing solutions for global challenges.
Instant Wild
In the field and behind the scenes, ZSL is working at the cutting-edge to protect critical species and revive ecosystems. And we really need your help.
Instant Detect 2.0
Instant Detect 2.0 is a wildlife, environment and threat monitoring system designed by conservationists for conservationists.
Machine learning for wildlife conservation
Speeding up the analysis of camera trap surveys and monitor wildlife trends in near real time.
SMART (Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool)
Our SMART (Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool) approach is a combination of software, training materials and patrolling standards to help conservation managers monitor animals, identify threats and make patrols more effective.
Sea Turtle Tagging
Developing and applying innovative technology to protect species around the world.
Low-cost Wildlife Tracking Devices
ZSL and partners are developing low cost tagging solutions to protect animals that are under threat.
Camera Trapping
Today camera trapping has been transformed by technology to become a major tool for conservation organisations like ZSL.
Camera trap software
Camera-trap surveys resulting in overwhelming amounts of data, but we are introducing software make conservation more efficient.
The soundscape of conservation
