Introduction to Protection Operations

Protection Operations can be used to track poaching or illegal activity and monitor the status of protection operations in and around protected areas.

It provides 24/7 access to protection operations information and helps organizations respond to threats in real-time. This accelerated approach improves wildlife safety and reduces risks associated with illegal activities in a protected area. Protection Operations is typically implemented by conservation organizations that want to take a data-driven approach to monitoring illegal activity.

The Protection Operations solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you track poaching and illegal activity, monitor protection operations, and visualize patterns of illegal activity.
