Today my guest is Eric Schmidt, Executive Director of Wildlife Protection Solutions a nonprofit who’s mission is to use technology for the conservation of endangered species & ecosystems. I first encountered WPS at event 0with panel speakers specifically discussing wildlife issues, poaching, and species loss and how their effects relate to security needs that have global impacts and consequences. I was immediately intrigued their systems approach and the possibilities in both large landscape and species survival projects in the remote areas where the landscapes are often vast, and incursions can happen anytime day or night where the need to provide Rangers and Managers with real-time data to respond quickly becomes critical. WPS is a tech-savvy for profit and non-profit that has easy to use applications providing anyone to have a real-time participatory opportunity to protect endangered species. www.wildlifeprotectionsolutions.org
