Who we are
Earthspan is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization created by concerned scientists dedicated to the continued development and application of advanced technologies for the conservation and management of wildlife species, habitats, ecosystems, and public health. Earthspan develops and tests wildlife tracking technologies, conducts wildlife conservation research projects, and seeks to educate school children of all ages about these issues through curriculum offerings and teacher training workshops/courses.

What We Do
Earthspan develops, tests, and applies advanced technologies and scientific methods for the conservation and management of natural resources. We specialize in standoff technologies designed for remote data acquisition. We have the expertise to develop and implement scientific research to conduct basic, applied, and manipulative studies.
We deploy satellite and ground-based tracking and monitoring capabilities and associated technologies -- such as remote sensing, satellite imaging, cross-band transponder system, remote acoustic monitoring, and geographic information systems (GIS) -- to study, manage, and conserve wildlife species that have proven in the past to be difficult to study.
