I can think of several things off the top of my head:

- go work for a group like WWF - work on "outdoors" apps (hunting, hiking, trail-riding, etc) - build website(s)/app(s) that help conservation groups, folks interested in wildlife, etc find places to sight-see, get involved in local activities, etc - work for a group that does educational outreach (eg your local cooperative extension office)

I bet some of the other smarter folks hereon can suggest another 100 or more ways you could "help wildlife conservation and ecology with tech" :)

Thanks for the suggestions @warrenm.

While I understand the importance of climate awareness and community building, I'm afraid that isn't where I shine.

Anything more technical, maybe in the fields of camera-traps, drone deployment, remote-sensing, satellite imagery, GIS, data analysis/viz etc may be a better fit. Trying to look for a way to get started in these.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Really appreciate it!
