EarthRanger
EarthRanger brings everything together—collect data from the field, integrate your technology, see your wildlife and teams in real time, and develop strategies that accelerate your impact.
EarthRanger is provided at no cost to qualified conservation organizations, protected areas, and wildlife sanctuaries. Developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (Ai2), it is a free, web-based platform designed to support wildlife conservation by visualizing real-time data from field sensors, rangers, and tracked animals.

Tracking & Event Platform
EarthRanger brings everything together—collect data from the field, integrate your technology, see your wildlife and teams in real time, and develop strategies that accelerate your impact.
Tagging Animals and Assets
LORA (Long Range) and GS-SAT (GlobalStar Satellite) tags are small electronic RF ID (Radio Frequency Identity) devices providing the tracking and telemetry data that is transmitted using LoRaWAN or Satellites as communication mediums. The collar is small precision designed and does not affect the animal’s movement.
Animal Behaviour
Animals and events are live-tracked and monitored on the EarthRanger platform, providing real-time situational awareness for conservation and security teams. Movement, location, and event data from tagged animals and field sensors form the operational backbone of the system.
Tracking
LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa radio modulation technique. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways. Usage of LoRaWAN in industrial spaces and agricultural environments is growing because it is an affordable long-range, bi-directional communication protocol with very low power consumption — devices can run for ten years on a small battery. It uses the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) radio bands for network deployments. It can track multiple devices (3000/gateway) within 30 Km radius with no data cost.
EarthRanger Platform
By monitoring animal movement on the EarthRanger platform, specific patterns and hotspots can be identified. This enables accurate localisation of animals and supports informed, data-driven game management decisions.
