Convening: Cattle and Conservation– the future of virtual fencing
With our partners at the Property and Environment Research Center, we co-convened the first virtual fencing workshop of its kind, bringing together experts from technology, agriculture, government, and conservation to explore the latest advancements in the field and discuss how this innovative technology can support ranching and wildlife conservation.
