Tech Tutors Special: How do I use conservation tech ethically? (panel)

Описание: Tech Tutors Special: How Do I use conservation tech ethically? (panel)
In this special panel episode of Tech Tutors, our presenters will answer the following questions:

Doug Clark (replacing Chris Sandbrook): How do I use conservation tech ethically?
Trishant Simlai: How does conservation tech cause harm?
Laure Joanny: How do I build on existing tools and procedures to use conservation tech ethically?
Koustubh Sharma: How do I manage ethical issues in the field?

In this session, you will learn about how conservation monitoring technology can have positive and negative effects on people, and some tips on how to use your tech in a socially responsible way.

Thinking about the ethics of how we use technology is not just about avoiding harm to people - it is also about achieving conservation success. This is because conservation projects are much more challenging when there is conflict with local residents. If the way you are using technology is upsetting people, it could undermine conservation goals and make damage or theft of your kit more likely. So you should think about the ethics of conservation tech right from the start.

The first step is to recognise that conservation technology can have impacts on people, even if this is not your intention. Once you are aware that this is an issue to consider, you can then work through a set of simple principles to make sure you avoid problems as far as possible.
