What is I-Tracker?

I-Tracker is a network of Indigenous Land and Sea managers and researchers across north Australia who are working together to collect and share information for better land and sea management.

I-Tracker is developing new tools to help Indigenous Land and Sea managers to collect and manage information about natural and cultural resources across remote north Australia.

I-Tracker is supporting Indigenous Land and Sea managers to use the information they collect to improve land and sea management at local, regional, national and even international scales.

 

How does I-Tracker work?

I-Tracker matches state-of-the-art, “field-tough” hand-held computers with internationally acclaimed software known as ‘CyberTracker’. Together these tools provide a user-friendly, culturally appropriate and scientifically approved way of collecting information while out on country or on the sea.

I-Tracker also includes a group of people who provide training and technical support in the use of the I-Tracker tools. This training and support group includes Rangers and Coordinators who use I-Tracker tools frequently, researchers, and other people with skills in GIS, computer software, and information management.
