Hi, Gibson, thanks for that insight. This looks great. Am sure my search for AI technology innovation in conservation starts here at wildlabs.

Hi everyone. I'm on the hunt for a new trust and statutory fundraiser to join my brilliant team at Zoological Society of London (ZSL) - could this be you? Or do you know someone who fits the bill? Over the last 18 months our team has worked on bids for some amazing conservation programmes, from working with communities to safeguard Angelsharks, and restoring oyster habitats in Great Britain, to transboundary tiger recovery in Nepal and India, and species reintroduction in the pacific islands.   Our new team member can expect to work on raising grants for a wide variety of conservation programmes like these, as well as game-changing capital projects at our world-leading zoos, London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo.

Hi, my name is Dorcus Ninsiima from Uganda and am passionate about biodiversity conservation. Lately, am involved in using AI for machine learning in wildlife conservation. Breaking down complex data sets into a more manageable metadata base. I  hope to meet that person(s) here.

Terms of Reference Project context and background. Bhutan’s exquisite wildlife is facing pressure from poaching, illegal logging and wildlife trade. Rangers are the first, and often the only, line of defense between poachers and wildlife. Everyday these committed man and women run the risk of being confronted by armed loggers, poachers or even the wildlife they are working to defend. UWICER is the national institution that trains frontline staff. Of the 132 current modules in the curriculum only seven relate to wildlife crime while most are based on conservations biology, forestry, and water resource management. The feasibility report conducted by WWF and Southern African Wildlife College (SAWC) also outlines that capacity on delivering anti-poaching training is insufficient, there is no mechanism for training new recruits and no mechanism for refresher trainings for rangers. Hence, the current training does not teach the skills required to effectively address poaching and keep rangers themselves safe in the field. WWF has been supporting ranger trainings and despite the improvements for immediate needs NGO trainings are not a sustainable solution due to funding being limited (and often short-term) and no standard curriculum being used across NGOs. This project will build on current curriculum owned by UWICER through collaboration with Southern African Wildlife College to create an improved and amended curriculum to enhance ranger’s capacity in curbing illegal wildlife crime. For the roll our, the faculty members of UWICER will be provided training of trainer (TOT) based on the new curriculum by experts from SAWC. Objectives Train the faculty members of UWICER on new curriculum  Scope and tasks Design the TOT module for three weeks. Provide TOT to the faculty members of UWICER. Timeline The assignment will be for a period April 27, 2022, to May 30, 2022. Eligibility Education and experience in natural resources management, environmental or conservation management, and or a relevant law enforcement technical degree; Knowledge of conservation and law enforcement issues in Asia; 7 years of practical experience in advising and or training in conservation and biodiversity protection law enforcement, or related field, preferably 2 years of which should have been in Asia; Experience of working with Southern African Wildlife College or similar ranger training institutions. Skills & Abilities Working well with and contributing effectively to a multicultural team; Good command of English language, both oral and written communication skills. Please send your proposal (2 pages max) with CV and budget to rsingh@wwf.sg by 20th April 2022.  

1. BACKGROUND The International Ranger Federation, Thin Green Line Foundation and Universal Ranger Support Alliance have organised the Ranger Roundtable Sessions and associated stakeholder workshops facilitated between July 2020 to November 2021. These sessions brought together global development, health and conservation leaders in partnership with Ranger sector leaders. The outcome of these sessions position rangers in the broader policy arena and creates an argument for better investment and recognition of rangers. The Ranger Roundtable and Universal Ranger Support Alliance have teamed up to develop a discussion paper based on the outcomes and recommendations of the ranger roundtables. The proposed consultancy will work with large cross-sector group of co-authors from the ranger roundtable to develop the discussion paper. The papers will then become a tool for the convening policy makers to recognise the ranger profession and advocate for necessary changes to professionalise the ranger workforce. The paper will be designed as a ‘call to action’ for global leaders to recognise the alignment of Rangers’ essential frontline work with climate, biodiversity, One Health, security, and rural economic development targets (i.e. the Ranger-effect) 2. MAJOR TASKS a. Based on the outputs and recommendations of the Ranger Roundtable define the scope and structure of the paper. b. Organise meeting/discussion with co-authors to finalise the structure and scope of the paper. c. Lead the development of the papers and allocate roles to other authors d. Develop first draft of the paper and lead the review process to ensure the feedback from coauthors are incorporated. e. Identify the suitable publication platform. f. Lead the submission of the paper and review process for final submission 3. OUTPUTS a. 3000-5000 words discussion paper (depending on target journal) The Ranger Roundtable (URSA, IRF and TGLF) are looking for bidding to deliver the attached assignment on "Ranger Roundtable Policy Paper".  Please send your one page proposal with budget and copy of CV by 28th February 2022 torsingh@wwfnet.org
