Keeping Track of the Environment

Our vision is to promote the development of a worldwide environmental monitoring network. We encourage CyberTracker users to communicate with others about their projects. We welcome a short description of your project with photographs and contact details sent to info@cybertracker.co.za.

Kruger National Park, South Africa

The Kruger National Park uses 125 CyberTracker units to gather more than a million records per year. For the first time it was possible to conduct an accurate survey of the rare Black Rhino. CyberTracker data also include daily field ranger patrol information, species distribution, tracks of rare animals, availability of surface water, location of carcasses, poaching activities, distribution of invasive species, fire mapping, vegetation surveys, impact of elephants… Read more…

Snow Leopard Conservancy

The Snow Leopard Conservancy has joined forces with CyberTracker to develop a simple system using a hand-held computer with a GPS to enable local people to monitor and record information on snow leopards, their prey and habitat. Read more…


Seabird Data Collection During Cetacean Surveys

Information on different species, especially top predators, are rarely collected simultaneously in an effective manner. The concurrent data collection - both in space and time - on birds and cetaceans (especially dolphins) may allow a better understanding of ecological linkages in the marine ecosystem. Read more…
