EarthRanger conservation technology workshops come to Kenya

We are thrilled to announce Vipingo Ridge has been chosen as the venue for the Kenya workshop for EarthRanger training later this month.

Technology to accelerate the work to protect wildlife and people

EarthRanger aims to bridge the data gap in conservation and works to help protected area managers to make informed decisions. In 2024 EarthRanger is hosting a series of workshops across the globe, and their mission and the ambitions for the workshop programme are very exciting:

EarthRanger comes to the Kenya coast

Vipingo Ridge is a Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) registered Wildlife Sanctuary, and proud users of the EarthRanger software. Our Wildlife team prioritise data collection and research to support our protected species genetic diversity breeding programme, as well as our habitat protection and restoration projects.

For the Kenya Workshop event we will welcome 130 delegates to Vipingo Ridge, Kilifi for a three-day event at the end of September. For this popular and sold-out event the EarthRanger team are travelling to meet conservationists and partners to explore solutions to challenges and to network. The Kenya workshops will mark an interesting group from across the leading conservation organisations in Kenya, and also delegates from as far as the Bahamas. The venue along Kenya’s Coastline also creates an interesting opportunity to explore both the land and sea applications of technology.

Why Choose Vipingo Ridge for a conference?  

EarthRanger explored a number of options for their 2024 Kenya Workshop Training, and several factors contributed to the selection of Vipingo Ridge:

Vipingo Ridge will be supporting the conference organisers with a full service from an air-conditioned workshop venue to catering, accommodation to entertainment, with guests experiencing the panoramic views of the Clubhouse Rooftop, the Sunset views over the Chodari Hills and the Beach Club on the Indian Ocean during their residential workshop.
