Our Mission
WildTrack is a 501(c)3 based at the JMP Division of SAS Software, USA. Our mission is to develop and implement non-invasive, community-friendly approaches to provide more effective monitoring of endangered species, to protect them and to reduce human:wildlife conflict.

WildTrack has developed a footprint identification technique (FIT) that enables wildlife conservationists to identify endangered species from their unique footprints. This allows them to monitor the animals closely without disturbing them.
This short documentary video shows WildTrack’s Drs Sky Alibhai and Zoe Jewell tracking cheetah with the San people on the Central Namibian Plateau.

Honoured to be JMP Superusers!
January 24th, 2020
What led two rhino conservationists working in a remote area of Africa to discover a better way of keeping track of rhino? The answer is JMP software. We had some novel ideas, and JMP allowed us to test and implement them, resulting in our Footprint Identification Technique (FIT), and other analytical solutions for conservation.
24 years later, JMP is still Key to WildTrack’s award-winning analytical capability, and our ongoing R&D. This interview with Amy Bullock from JMP tells how it happened, and what our support from the JMP community means to us at WildTrack.

WildTrack in Numbers 2020
WildTrack works to deliver non-invasive monitoring for endangered species. Our footprint identification technique (FIT) is customized for each species in our many different species project partners around the world
Field projects send us footprints, and together with our students in universities around the world we develop species algorithms and help field projects apply the technique.
Thanks to generous support from JMP (in which FIT sits) we are also able to help field scientists use JMP data visualization software without additional cost.
