LRC Wildlife Conservation Consulting is building the decision infrastructure that the conservation technology and enterprise sector is missing, starting with the structured process that individual organisations need right now.
The structured decision-making process that takes a team from a clearly defined conservation problem through to a technology commitment grounded in their context, their resources, and their operational reality.
Is your conservation NGO's technology decision-making as structured as it can be?
Your organisation faces growing pressure to make informed decisions about technology adoption while maximising limited resources and capacity. The structured decision process, starting with a clearly defined conservation problem, testing whether technology is the right response, and confirming what success looks like before any tool is chosen, is what determines whether adoption works.
The free Conservation Technology Decision Quiz tells you where your approach stands in under 5 minutes.

Are you about to commit time or funding to a technology decision?
Whether you are about to commit time or funding or are already mid-project and finding it isn't delivering as expected, the Conservation Technology Decision Quiz shows where your decision-making approach is strong and where the gaps are. It tests whether your decision-making process was structured, from problem definition through to performance monitoring. The questions apply whether you are working at the level of a project, a programme, or a wider initiative.

Working with funders
Conservation funders face the same technology decision pressures as their grantees.
My work covers three areas:
-
Supporting grant applications where technology is a core component
-
Assessing those applications independently
-
Guiding technology decisions from adoption through to implementation
The Conservation Technology Decision Quiz gives funders a practical way to assess whether a technology component in a grant application is built on a structured decision process and to share it with grantees to strengthen their approach.
Where are you right now?
Not sure if your technology decision starts in the right place?
Not yet clear on whether your decision begins with a defined conservation problem.
Get clarity on whether you have the right foundations before evaluating any technology. Walk away with clarity on whether to proceed and what a structured next step looks like.
Exploring a technology but the decision-making process around it isn't structured yet?
The approach to the technology you're considering hasn't been fully tested against your context.
Find out whether the approach is realistic, whether your team is aligned, and where the gaps are before committing time or funding.
Technology in place but not delivering consistent results?
The technology is running but performance is inconsistent or outcomes aren't clear.
Identify where the decision-making broke down and what to address first. Fragmented results are usually a decision problem, not a technology problem.
Here's what to do next
Step 2: Review your results
Your results include an overall score plus a personalised breakdown across all three areas: Decision Clarity, Fit and Feasibility, and Delivery and Performance. For each area you'll receive three practical actions to focus on and a real-world lesson on what the findings mean in practice. Specific, actionable, and ready to use.

Navigating Web 3.0 Guide: A Tool for Conservation
A decision-support tool that starts with your conservation goals and operational realities, not the technology. 34 guided questions assess which emerging technologies are worth exploring across four areas of your work: Data Collection and Management, Resource Allocation and Financial Management, Collaboration and Communication, and Monitoring and Evaluation.
Work through it at your own pace.
This guide is where the decision-support work started, and it remains the clearest entry point into conservation technology decision-making for teams new to this field.
