WildTrack is a nonprofit specializing in the conservation of endangered species. We are trying to develop our following through better use of Social Media. We currently have a presence on Facebook (WildTrackFIT), Twitter (@WildTrackFIT), LinkedIn (WildTrack Inc.) and Instagram (WildTrackFIT) and use Later software for planning and posting media. We have some strategies in position that we could share, but are always open to new ideas as well!
We are looking for someone with an interest in our work (WildTrack.org) and proven experience in Social Media planning and strategy to help us optimize our Social Media outreach. Initially this will be Summer 2022, but for the right candidate this could develop as a paid position after that.

Mission Statement
WildTrack’s Mission is to protect endangered species using a unique combination of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and traditional ecological knowledge.
Description
WildTrack (wildtrack.org) was founded in 2004 by conservation biologists Drs Sky Alibhai and Zoe Jewell after years of collecting data from tracking black rhino in Zimbabwe, Africa. Their data showed that invasive monitoring (darting and collaring) was negatively impacting female fertility. Working with indigenous trackers they instead developed a footprint identification technique (FIT) that is able to identify species, individuals, sex and age-class just from footprints.
Our WildTrack Specialist Group community of more than 20 professional conservation biologists focuses on non-invasive, and community-based technologies.
One of our approaches is footprint identification technology (FIT). Footprints are many times easier to find than the animals themselves, and can inform on their numbers and distribution. Our morphometric and AI models can provide accuracies of >90% in classifying by species, individual, sex and age-class. These data are made available for species protection and the mitigation of human-wildlife conflict.
We maximise data collection by engaging a wide range of participants from scientists, recreational citizen scientists, eco-tourists and expert trackers who often hold valuable traditional ecological knowledge.
Our hands-off, animal-friendly approach also reduces the risk of human:other species transmission of viruses and reduces the risk of future pandemics
