Which wild place should have this software for free?
We are opening EchidnaCare to twelve projects working in the wild: protecting habitat, and the animals and ecosystems living in it. Rewilding and species recovery, reserves and marine protected areas, ranger patrols and field monitoring, ecosystem restoration. Licences, setup and support, at no cost to them.
You may know a rescue team, reserve or field project that would benefit from better records. Tell us about their work and where software could make their day easier.
EchidnaCare is made in the USA. Through Wild Spaces, we want to share useful tools with the people caring for wildlife and habitats around the world. This support is separate from our AI footprint. Our approach to responsible AI and conservation.
Where the software can help
EchidnaCare keeps records about animals, places and the people working them. It helps most where a project tracks individuals, releases, patrols, enclosures or field sites over time. If a project mainly works on land purchase or advocacy, tell us what records the team needs to keep so we can assess whether these tools would be useful.
Practical conservation, built around the place and its people.
Wild Spaces takes a nonpartisan approach. We support useful work for wildlife and habitats, and assess projects by their needs, animal-welfare practices, local knowledge and evidence of results. Political affiliation is not a selection criterion.
Different places need different approaches. We value cooperation among conservation teams, zoos, veterinarians, landowners, farmers and local communities. We ask what works in that setting, what the tradeoffs are, and how the people responsible will review the results.
Our first contribution will be software, setup and support for twelve projects that can use it. Nominations and votes help bring projects forward; we confirm eligibility, practical fit and the organization’s consent before awarding a place. We agree the donated term and what happens afterward in writing before onboarding. A nomination or vote does not start a subscription.
Feedback helps us improve. Reviews and photographs are optional, and public stories or listings need the project’s permission. Donated software and any conservation outcomes are reported separately from our estimated AI footprint.
