CyberTracker Conservation

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 vision is to enable you to be part of a worldwide environmental monitoring network. Our mission is to help you improve environmental monitoring by increasing the efficiency of data gathering and to improve observer reliability.

We need your support!

Over the last five years (2002 to 2007) we have been supported by a grant from the European Commission, co-funded by Conservation International. The three-year grant, which was extended to five years, has now come to an end. We need a new source of funding to continue ongoing Research and Development, which is essential to achieve our mission. If you can help us, please contact us at info@cybertracker.co.za.
