Smart Earth Network, www.smartearthnetwork.com, is a new charity that aims to tackle conservation problems using technology. Much of the planet's wildlife is being lost at alarming rates and often conservationists do not have the data to understand what and why this is happening. The technological revoluton based on the Internet of Things can be a very useful tool for scientists to study what is happening and make informed conservation decisions. Technology can be used to monitor, plan and communicate. Smart Earth Network connects the scientists and their challenges to technology developers and providers so a solution to the problems can be found. The current list of challenges and a solutions database can be found on the website, and it is free for all to sign up as a member.
