RangerPulse

RangerPulse is a mobile + web app for park rangers and community scouts to log wildlife sightings, snares, carcasses, illegal logging, and human-wildlife conflict during patrols—offline-first, GPS-stamped, and photo-backed. It adds lightweight AI to auto-tag species (when possible), detect duplicates, and flag “urgent” incidents (e.g., fresh poaching signs) for rapid response. The web dashboard gives NGOs and protected-area managers a clean map, patrol coverage heatmaps, and weekly incident summaries that can be exported to the formats donors and governments actually ask for. Brutal reality: citizen-science apps for hobbyists are crowded, but operational monitoring for under-resourced ranger teams is still messy, fragmented, and often stuck in WhatsApp + spreadsheets. This app wins by being boringly reliable in the field and by reducing reporting overhead, not by trying to be another iNaturalist clone.
