Get ready for an exciting event that will revolutionize the way we protect our planet! Kenya is set to host the Global Conservation Tech & Drone Forum (GCTDF 2026) from March 2 to 6, 2026, and it's an opportunity not to be missed. The forum, themed 'Technology in Service of Nature: Protecting Wildlife, Supporting People, Restoring Ecosystems', will bring together a diverse group of experts, including rangers, community leaders, technologists, researchers, policymakers, and youth from Africa and beyond. But here's where it gets controversial... The event will be held in Nairobi and Konza Technopolis, and it will focus on the application of cutting-edge technologies like drones, satellite sensors, artificial intelligence, geographic information systems (GIS), and data-driven tools in wildlife protection, anti-poaching efforts, habitat restoration, and community resilience. Now, this is the part most people miss... The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is confirmed as the official conservation partner, and they will provide expert insights on Kenya's ecosystems and conservation challenges. Through this collaboration, KWS will showcase Kenya's conservation efforts and its commitment to science-led and innovative natural resource management. But it's not just about the technology; it's about the people and the planet. The forum will also explore how technology can support local communities and restore ecosystems.
