Data visualization and analysis software for Protected Area Management

EarthRanger is an easy-to-use online software solution built by Vulcan Inc. to meet the unique needs of protected area managers. Our solution collects, integrates and displays all historical and real-time data available from a protected area—wildlife, the rangers protecting them, spatial information, and other threats. EarthRanger empowers protected area managers and rangers to take immediate, proactive actions to prevent and mitigate threat incidents.

"Incredibly effective software... Easy to use, all in one system revolutionizing the way we manage the park."

The whole operation was a great success, thanks to the ability of [EarthRanger] to coordinate the ranger movements in a simple and visual way. We couldn't have done this before.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Kenya

Our top commanders now use [EarthRanger] and appreciate the holistic view of trackable assets. I am able to check the location of our units and their movement—anytime and anywhere. This visualization has improved everyone's perspective and has supported the development and continuous evolution of our protection strategies.

North Luangwa National Park, Zambia

[EarthRanger] has significantly improved the capture and recording of key incidents and field data. This has vastly improved our spatial awareness of our assets… and has greatly enhanced the management and coordination of field operations.

Majete Wildlife Reserve, Malawi

Since implementing [EarthRanger], day to day operations have seen a big shift. The park's daily 7:00am meetings to cover incidents in the last 24 hours are much more efficient.
