Public reporting
Create a clear wildlife report in four steps.
Anyone can report injured or distressed wildlife without an account. Add photos, describe what you see, and share your location. In areas covered by a participating ranger team, Wanyama Watch creates a case and assigns it to an eligible ranger.
Why we built it
To simplify the reporting of wildlife incidents.
In stressful situations where wildlife is in peril and time is of the essence, it is not always clear who to contact or how to find their contact details. We want to help solve this problem by streamlining wildlife incident reporting and building knowledge and insight into the types of incidents that occur and where they happen, helping conservation teams identify patterns and prevent future incidents.
From report to follow-up
The right details, kept together.
For conservancies
Build a knowledge layer that helps prevent wildlife incidents.
Wanyama Watch gives conservancies one place to coordinate cases and build a clearer picture of wildlife incidents over time.
- Report details Open each report with its photos, location, animal type, and description.
- Case management Assign or reassign cases, update status, record outcomes, and add shared ranger notes.
- Map and filters View recent reports on a map, then filter by status or assignment.
- Knowledge and analytics Turn accumulated case data into insights about incident types, locations, outcomes, and patterns.
Where we are now
Ready for the field.
- Ready App and team Over the past two years, we have developed Wanyama Watch and built the infrastructure for field testing.
- In planning Mundui pilot Preparing a first real-world trial with ranger feedback at its centre.
- Exploring Next conservancy A possible second pilot may follow once the first lessons are in.
