Human-Wildlife Conflict Mitigation in Tanzania

As of March this year, PAMS foundation will be using Cluey when inspecting their chili fences. These fences support farmers living adjacent to wildlife areas to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, as elephants avoid these fences.

PAMS uses both Cluey and the analytical Focus application to better protect the enormous biodiversity in the remote southern areas of Tanzania.

Cheetah monitoring in Kenya

Cheetah are the fastest mammals on land. At top speed they may reach 100 km per hour, which they can sustain for 20 seconds. Enough to outrun their prey. In the wild, there are only about 7000 individuals left.

Sensing Clues supports CSI Wildlife in the Cheetah Research Project in Kenya, aimed at identifying, counting, and monitoring Cheetah, and at determining their range and territory.

The information is critical for taking informed protection measures and to conserve their habitat.

Please hit the Donate-button if you want to contribute to the protection of Cheetah. Every gift, big or small, counts!

training and support in Burkina Faso

Since a few months, Sensing Clues has partnered up with Chengeta Wildlife and the CWTI to tackle incredibly hard wildlife conservation problems in an area rigged by conflicts.

Read more about Chengeta Wildlife and CWTI in a blog post from ESRI, another valued partner of ours.

“When we deal with a problem in a given area, analytics and actionable intelligence inform our planning, coordination, and execution of missions,” Young said. “Improving the technology allows for improved command and control.”

Services that Sensing Clues is providing include:

  • Conducting Foundational Analysis to provide Anti-Poaching Units with a head-start

  • Training and mentoring analysts to conduct such analytics on their own

  • Training and mentoring law enforcement and criminal investigations principles and (judicial) processes

  • Training APU-members and analysts in data collection methods and tools

  • Supporting them with the tools to conduct their work efficiently and effectively
