Use Wildlife Management

The Wildlife Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you capture wildlife observations, monitor wildlife populations, and analyze trends within protected areas.

In this topic, you’ll learn how to use the solution by assuming the role of a user and performing the workflows below.

Collect wildlife observations

The Rapid Wildlife Reporter can be used to quickly capture wildlife observations in the field using a simple big button interface. The Wildlife Observation Reporter can be used to capture detailed wildlife counts, the health of observed animals, and photos of the observation. Both can be used on a mobile device in a connected or disconnected environment.

Collect rapid wildlife observations

You will start by assuming the role of a field worker in a protected area collecting observations of wildlife. You are asked to use the Rapid Wildlife Reporter to collect rapid observations.

2. Fill in the following details:

   Buffalo	Type 15 for Total Animals then click Done
   Antelope	Type 54 for Total Animals then click Done

3. Close the project when finished with your observations.

Note:

By default, the wildlife observations will automatically send when your device is in connected mode. You can also click the Map button and view the wildlife observation locations on a map before sending if you need to adjust the location.
