Ten years of Arm believing in what conservation technology can offer, and in the people building it. They've trusted us to be what our community needs us to be, and that kind of partnership is rare. Thank you, and here's to the next decade of impact! 🙌
10 years of technology supporting conservation. 🌍
Since 2015, we’ve worked with @wildlabsnet to connect conservationists and technologists, build skills and help make tools including GPS wildlife tracking, AI-powered camera traps and acoustic monitoring more accessible and effective in the field. okt.to/Ki8Z5p
In February, 600+ people from 60+ countries gathered in Lima for #ICTC2026. Today, the feedback is in! 📊
A survey of attendees gave the event a 9.4/10 average satisfaction score, with 100% saying they’d recommend it to a colleague.
Here’s what the impact looks like 🧵👇
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share reflections and help shape what comes next for ICTC!
