Freaklabs - Hardware for Wildlife and Environmental Conservation (original) (raw)

At Freaklabs, we harness human creativity, dedication and longterm collaboration to develop technology that helps understand, preserve and restore the natural world.

We specialise in the development of advanced hardware and software for outdoor environmental monitoring, wildlife research and conservation, and sustainable basic infrastructure in rugged and remote areas.

We work with conservationists and ecologists, researchers and scientists, analysts and policymakers to empower them with the field technology and data they need to make informed decisions and drive impactful actions.

Technology

We develop proven, scalable and affordable technology for conservation and international development

Monitoring Systems

Empowering conservation, restoration and climate risk mitigation with Baseliner – a realtime, in-situ, wireless monitoring system sending data directly from the field to the internet for seamless integration and analysis.

Field Technology

Enabling novel research and new conservation approaches by delivering specialised field technology to those on the ground, such as BoomBox – an ABRs for landscape of fear research and wildlife deterrence.

Approach

Collaborative

We take a holistic approach to developing and deploying technology. We work with stakeholders and partners to understand the real needs, constraints, opportunities and field experiences openly and transparently.

Field-Focussed

Our approach to developing technology is informed by the environmental conditions under which it’s deployed. To survive in the field, it needs to be power optimised, ruggedised and reliable.

Longterm

Lasting impact takes time. We want our technology to be around for decades. This means lasting support and maintenance, continuous field-informed optimisations and constant supply chain vigilance.

In The Field

Soil Monitoring

Long term soil monitoring can indicate not only soil health, but overall ecosystem health, and inform conservation land management practises.

Customised Field Tech: BoomBox

Wildlife often hear humans before they see them. Studying their reactions to recreation noise is key to understanding their behavior.
