Introduction of Sensing Clues
Sensing Clues, founded in 2017, is an organisation supported by 15 solution partners, 40 volunteers, and with customers in 12 countries worldwide. In 2020 we supported our customers to protect 1 million hectares of nature. We aim to double this every year for the next 3 years. This is our definition of impact!

Our mission is to turn wild spaces into safe havens. We reach that by providing NGOs with advanced data-driven technologies that deliver actionable insights to fight wildlife crime, increase biodiversity, and manage human-wildlife coexistence.

The methods and systems that we’ll develop will be piloted in the Carpathians, the Danube Delta, the Stara Planina mountains and in the Os Ancares and O Courel, which are home to iconic species like the bear, wolf, lynx, sturgeon, and many more.
