Congrats!
A big Thank You to everyone who showed up to #ICTCT2026 in Lima, Peru! Kieran was thrilled to meet you all and learn about your projects, ideas, and biacoustic issues. We hope you enjoyed the conference as much as we did, and were able to take some new knowledge and input back home with you.
@Day 2 of #ICTC26, Wild Moves and Wild Album were launched! Wild Moves is the GBIF-mediated animal tracking data portal developed by the Data Standardisation Working Group of the IBLS (Peter Desmet, INBO) and hosted by @wildlabs.bsky.social .

Energizing & impactful Day 2 at #ICTC2026!
80+ sessions on scaling conservation tech-advancing regional priorities, responsible AI, sustainable financing & moving from pilots to operational systems. Central theme: tech must be inclusive & built to last.
On to the final day!

The last 2 full days of workshops in Lima at @wildlabs.bsky.social Conservation Tech Conference have been eye-opening! Amazing how much innovation is happening in the conservation-tech space. I have so many ideas thanks to @conservationxlabs.bsky.social @kitzeslab.bsky.social among others #ICTC
Another fun day of #ICTC2026 pre-conference workshops!
400 people from the conservation tech community joined for interactive training on different technologies and topics โ satellite tags, AI, bioacoustics, MPA management, camera trap data and more!
Thanks to UTEC for hosting us!๐ค
They did!! This crew at @wildlabs.bsky.social #ICTC workshop about automated insect monitoring built a whole bunch of mothboxes from scratch, and we even got to test them out at the nearby museum of contemporary art!
Kicking off #ICTC2026 strong with Day 1 of our pre-conference workshops!
We had a great blend of technical deep dives, practical skills-building & group discussions across the conservation tech spectrum. Huge thanks to all workshop organizers, volunteers & UTEC for hosting us (& these great pics)!
Andy begins a talk with a PowerPoint. About twenty people, seated at desks with lots of equipment for building Mothboxes, listen as he talks.
Starting our Mothbox building workshop at #ICTC! Hopefully by the end of the day, our participants will have a functional Mothbox that they can deploy and see what nocturnal insects are around in Lima! With @dinalab.bsky.social @wildlabs.bsky.social
