Exploration of interoperability: linking field teams, protected-area operations, and policy reporting. Continuation from G-DiNC Track 3 and related competition outputs to real projects. Target audience includes wildlife agencies, conservancies, NGOs, GIS/data managers, research labs, donors, and tech providers. Co-hosted by Digital Earth Africa, RCMRD, and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Part of the Global Conservation Tech & Drone Forum (GCTDF) 2026.
