Kudos to her. Conservation tech is a challenging and exciting test bed for "hackers" because it's a hyper dimensional chessboard of constraints and strategies. It's easy to reduce the solution to "just do this." From one end, poaching is lucrative in areas with massive economic disparity. And from the other, climate change and the pressure we put on natural resources is unbalancing ecosystems driving human wildlife conflict.

A project I've worked on is Trailguard AI, ran by resolve.ngo, the principal is Eric Dinnerstein who is the former chief scientist at WWF. I can say they our running a start up in every sense of the word but the result is beautiful: a satelite/ gsm connected, battery powered AI enabled cryptic trail cam that can be used as a swiss army knife from animal censuses, to poacher detection, illegal logging truck detection and preventing human wildlife content (detect tiger + sound alarm).
