Here's 5 hours of an endangered Tasmanian #wedgetailedeagle flying squished into a 2 minute animation. Ethan took-off 9am, flew 223.5 km around the Midlands, and landed 2pm. The 6-second GPS data shows how he moves between thermals to travel in the most energy efficient way.

The #InstantDetect2 Access Tool makes set-up and maintenance of satellite connected cameras intuitive and easy from any mobile device without having to disturb the camera. Designed for conservationists, by conservationists - all thanks to players of @postcodelottery.

Instant Detect 2.0 can be set specifically to be triggered by human activity (e.g. poachers caught on camera). Sends its data securely via satellite at low cost, direct to rangers, who can then launch rapid response bit.ly/2EmpUeG
