Sensing Clues, the Dutch non-government organization dedicated to the preservation of nature and wildlife using advanced technologies, leveraged Progress Data Platform to prevent illegal animal poaching. Providing rangers with better situational awareness to act on unauthorized access into restricted areas, in 2022 alone, Sensing Clues supported over 320 rangers and conducted more than 54,500 observations and tracks to protect 3.2M hectares of nature.

With almost 40% of all plant and animal species worldwide threatened due to various factors, including habitat fragmentation, climate change and hunting, there is an urgent need for developing sustainable management plans for territories and biodiversity conservation based on precise data. Partnering with Progress, Sensing Clues created a powerful, secure and innovative data management platform, incorporating smart IoT sensors and predictive analytics, to help conservation parks worldwide protect, manage and nurture nature.

“Without the Progress Data Platform, we wouldn’t have been able to create such an advanced technology solution, changing the way wildlife has been guarded,” said
Jan Kees Schakel, founder and CEO, Sensing Clues. “With the powerful capabilities of the product, rangers in nature parks who work in harsh and dangerous environments have complete visibility into what’s happening every second and can prevent incidents and save animals’ lives. In addition to being a trusted and true partner, Progress has also been a good friend to Sensing Clues, supporting our mission over the years.”

Sensing Clues’ solution provides rangers with a complete real-time, searchable, 360-degree view of all protected park areas. Through consolidating and analyzing multistructured data from various sources, it provides rangers with alerts and risk maps in instances of danger, enabling them to act fast. The easy selection and visualization of insights on maps, timelines and graphs gives a snapshot of nature-protected areas and helps teams identify patterns.

The solution also includes metadata management through the semantic capabilities within the Progress Data Platform, resulting in intuitive and meaningful search functionality, powerful analytics and insights that lead to action.

“Our partnership with Sensing Clues is an example of how technology can contribute to significant social causes and make the world a better place,” said
John Ainsworth, EVP & General Manager, Application and Data Platform at Progress. “The way we gather, analyze and manage data is extremely critical for both businesses and NGOs and using the right technology to transform it into knowledge can unlock opportunities and lead to new solutions that give you, our customers, an advantage.”

Progress Data Platform is an AI data platform that helps organizations unify, govern and activate their data for trusted AI and analytics. It provides a semantic and governed data foundation that enables accurate, explainable AI without the need for organizations to replace their existing systems. With its high-speed search capabilities, built-in security features and semantics, Progress Data Platform empowers organizations to achieve a trusted, 360-degree view of their operations, customers and people.
