Innovative location technology is rapidly advancing conservation efforts by providing accessible tools for monitoring, planning, and protecting the planet. During the IUCN World Conservation Congress, several partners showcased their contributions, including the Global Mangrove Watch, which offers real-time data on mangrove conditions to combat illegal logging and track restoration. Marxan Cloud facilitates collaborative spatial conservation planning by integrating vast data sets, while EarthRanger helps protected areas make informed decisions through real-time data integration. Palmoil.io offers transparency in the palm oil supply chain by monitoring deforestation risks, and Digital Democracy's MAPEO tool empowers Indigenous communities with the resources to protect their lands. Finally, the Rainforest Foundation UK challenges Western-centric conservation methods by advocating for Indigenous rights and alternative approaches through initiatives like the Congo Basin Community Atlas.
