Conservationists are beginning to realize the benefits of using tech to help restore nature, and some projects could use your help. The app Monarch mines data using social media and algorithms to track the migratory patterns of monarch butterflies—anyone interested in saving butterflies can help. Some projects are using satellite imagery to help resolve conflicts between land conservationists and developers in Central America. Regardless of what you’re passionate about, there are endless ways to turn your static digital device into a tool to save the planet.
