Powered by advanced analytics, local knowledge, and our global volunteer communities, we identify and track endangered animals from the footprints they leave behind.
WildTrack protects wildlife without disturbing it. Wild animals can be rare, elusive, and vulnerable to stress when people try to see, capture, or tag them—so we use their footprints instead. WildTrack's award-winning technology can turn those natural signs into reliable data about species, individuals, populations, and habitats. This non-invasive approach combines traditional ecological knowledge with advanced data analytics and AI. But effective conservation depends on having enough high-quality footprints from the places wildlife lives —so we need your help to capture and share them, building the evidence needed to make better decisions for wildlife and the landscapes they depend on.
<b>Free and easy to use, our app allows anyone to contribute footprint tracks and help build our database and support wildlife conservation.</b>
Each observation you submit flows through expert review, AI modeling, and real-world decision-making. Here's how one footprint becomes a conservation outcome.
Our technology starts with you. Use the free WildTrackAI app to record the animal footprints you see, wherever you may be.
Your footprint images are reviewed by experts to strengthen and ensure the accuracy of our models, grounding the technology in real tracking knowledge.
Every observation improves our machine learning, so FIT can identify species, individuals, their sex and age accurately from the data you submit.
Once species and individuals are identified, we map their prints to help mitigate human-wildlife conflict, disrupt poaching, and predict where animals need our help.
Four principles guide everything we build, from the app in your pocket to the algorithms in the cloud.
Our delivered technology does not require trapping, collaring, or sedating. There is no need to stress the animal with 'hands-on' methods. We use only the footprint 'signals' it leaves behind.
Anyone with a phone can contribute. Our community contributors range from expert trackers in local communities to recreational hikers across the world.
Every solution we make is customized to each species and landscape. Sustainability means affordability, and robustness to a variety of local conditions and resources.
Footprints are thousands of times more abundant than animal sightings, giving researchers richer, broader, and more datasets to act on.
From farmland in Japan, where bears and monkeys raid crops, to snow-capped mountains in North America, and sand dunes in Africa, the same technique adapts to wildly different challenges.
