Transforming Global Situational Awareness for the Conservation Industry

What is EarthRanger? 

Since its inception in 2015, EarthRanger has transformed wildlife conservation by addressing critical data gaps to protect biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. Developed as part of Ai2, a non-profit AI institute founded by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen, the platform provides conservationists with real-time information to enhance on-the-ground efforts, guide decision-making, and uncover insights that drive research. 

Empowering Conservation Through Innovation

Together, EVERYWHERE Communications and EarthRanger are revolutionizing conservation through connectivity and innovation. This integration addresses critical communication and data challenges faced by teams operating in remote and often dangerous environments. By integrating EVERYWHERE’s comprehensive platform—including the Mobile App, Garmin inReach devices, and the Hub—with EarthRanger’s data-driven tools, teams can seamlessly share essential information, such as wildlife movement patterns, poaching activity, and environmental alerts.

EVERYWHERE Integration

EVERYWHERE enhances the functionality of existing Garmin inReach devices, ensuring users don’t need to invest in entirely new hardware. Devices are enhanced with:

• Global Messaging and Team Coordination
• Real-Time Engagement Tools: Proximity Alerts & Check-Ins
• SOS Alerts via Iridium for Emergency Response

These enhanced capabilities improve decision-making, resource allocation, and response times, significantly boosting the safety and effectiveness of conservation efforts to protect wildlife and natural resources. Additionally, they ensure the safety of those doing the good work of protecting vital wildlife resources.

Driving Impact at the Edge: The combined solution has already attracted interest from conservation organizations and protected area managers across Africa, Asia, and South America. EarthRanger, currently used in over 600 conservation sites across 74 countries and helping ensure the safety of 47,000 field personnel, now benefits from advanced connectivity tools provided by EVERYWHERE Communications. This integration equips teams on the ground with enhanced capabilities to combat illegal poaching, monitor wildlife populations, and respond to environmental threats more effectively.
