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.
