Summary
This study introduces EarthRanger, an open-source platform for monitoring and managing ecosystems. Used in 500+ sites across 70 countries, it enhances conservation efforts by integrating real-time data from tracking, patrols, and field reports. EarthRanger has significantly reduced poaching, improved wildlife protection, and supports ecological research and collaboration.
