◆彼らは、オープンソース技術、環境DNA、コンピュータビジョン、ゲーム理論、予算節約型技術など、さまざまなケーススタディを紹介し、これらのツールが野生生物保護にどのように役立っているかを示しました。また、先住民の設計の重要性や悪質な保護活動に警鐘を鳴らしました。これにより、過去の生態系の変化や保護活動の影響を調査し、将来の保護活動に役立つ戦略を開発する手助けができる新しいアプローチが示されました。

Abstract
The recent increase in public and academic interest in preserving biodiversity has led to the growth of the field of conservation technology. This field involves designing and constructing tools that use technology to aid in the conservation of wildlife. In this review, we present five case studies and infer a framework for designing conservation tools (CT) based on human–wildlife interaction. Successful CT range in complexity from cat collars to machine learning and game theory methodologies and do not require technological expertise to contribute to conservation tool creation. Our goal is to introduce researchers to the field of conservation technology and provide references for guiding the next generation of conservation technologists. Conservation technology not only has the potential to benefit biodiversity but also has broader impacts on fields such as sustainability and environmental protection. By using innovative technologies to address conservation challenges, we can find more effective and efficient solutions to protect and preserve our planet’s resources.
