Build a platform for amateur researchers to log and analyze endangered species sightings. Targets conservation volunteers and biology students.

Why now

New longevity findings about ancient species are renewing public interest in conservation tech.

Who for
Conservation volunteers
Business model
Institutional subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Field researchers lack tools for crowdsourced data collection that bridges academic and community efforts. A mobile app could standardize photo documentation with GPS/date stamps while preventing disturbance.

The app would guide proper observation protocols and feed data to research institutions. Premium features might include species identification AI.

Partner with universities for institutional licenses. The challenge is maintaining data quality with public submissions.
