Building India’s Grassroots Wildlife Technology Movement

A compelling story of grassroots innovation, ethical wildlife monitoring, and conservation-led coexistence emerging from India’s forests and field realities.

Often, wildlife conservation in India is constrained by expensive, inaccessible, or poorly adapted technology. Pardus is changing this narrative by building India-first wildlife monitoring and early-warning systems that are affordable, ethical, and designed for real field conditions. This session explores how frugal engineering, hands-on conservation experience, and community collaboration can redefine wildlife research, monitoring, and coexistence.
