A footprint is the quietest evidence an animal leaves behind — and often the richest. WildTrack turns that evidence into the data that helps keep endangered species alive.
To protect endangered species using non-invasive technology — uniting data analytics, artificial intelligence, and traditional ecological knowledge into a holistic approach.
Footprints are rich, untapped ecological data — easier to find than the animals that left them. Our award-winning footprint identification technology (FIT) uses advanced data analytics and AI to decode each image. Every track becomes data. Every trail becomes insight.
A footprint asks nothing of the animal that left it. By working from what's already on the ground, we skip the chase, trapping, the capture, the collar, and the close contact — lowering stress on wildlife and the risk of cross-species disease transmission that comes with handling them. Effective monitoring, without touching the animal.
"Protecting nature is a global concern, and it takes global participation. Originally inspired by expert trackers in Africa, our work is collaborative by design — built alongside scientists, expert trackers, recreational hikers, and educators who all bring different insights to the same ground". Sky Alibhai, WildTrack co-founder.
Whenever you spot an animal footprint, a photo is enough to turn it into conservation data. Every image you share helps train the models that identify species and map wildlife worldwide. It's free: download the WildTrack AI app, register in minutes, and join a global community of trackers contributing real data.
