In 2023–2024, Global Conservation has been focused on restoring protected areas and species management in the Kidepo Valley Conservation Area, Uganda, and funding the Uganda Conservation Foundation from 2023 to 2024. In addition, GC and IEF funded a country-wide Digital Strategy and EarthRanger deployment for five endangered national parks, including Kidepo Valley, Murchison Falls, and Queen Elizabeth.
Ensuring the safety of its personnel is the foundation of the park's recovery. The park's first critical step involved connecting their Garmin inReach devices to EarthRanger. Park officials outfit ranger units with inReach devices so that headquarters can monitor their movements and real-time locations via the platform. This functionality provides the extra safety net personnel need to do their job, even in remote areas with limited or no connectivity.
The NSW government has promised to establish a Great Koala National Park to conserve the species, and shocking new video has surfaced that shows state government loggers cutting down koala-feed trees inside its borders. The degradation of their habitat has made koalas in New South Wales susceptible to extinction.
