Who is this for

Schools

Wild Tracks is designed to fit naturally into primary education and will offer all schools worldwide a 100% free Wild Tracks education programme that will provide real animals GPS movement data, conservation stories and info, workbooks etc.

Real movement data can be used to allow children to explore:

distance, time, speed and averages
graphs, charts and coordinates
maps, habitats and biomes
food webs, ecosystems and conservation

It encourages whole-class participation and supports learning through real-world data.

Families and communities

Wild Tracks offers a shared activity that works across ages and abilities — encouraging outdoor movement with a sense of purpose allowing children to learn about the natural world and endangered wildlife in a fun, safe and healthy environment.

Organisations and sponsors

Wild Tracks provides a positive, measurable way to support education, health and conservation — with authentic stories grounded in real wildlife research.

Why it matters

Most people will never see a wild cheetah run, a zebra migrate, or a lion patrol its territory.

Wild Tracks brings those hidden journeys into everyday life — making wildlife movement visible, understandable and relevant.

By connecting human movement to animal survival, Wild Tracks aims to:

build long-term public support for conservation
inspire curiosity about the natural world
encourage healthy and inclusive physical activity
support wildlife organisations working on the ground

Conservation first

Wild Tracks is built around respect for wildlife and the work of conservation partners.

The use of GPS data:

funds monitoring and research
informs habitat protection measures
reduces human-wildlife conflict
supports evidence-based conservation decisions

Transparency and real-world impact sit at the heart of the concept.

Where this is going

Wild Tracks is currently being developed as a digital platform and education resource.

The long-term vision is to enable:

a mass public participation annual 7-day challenge
a global community of people to connect their movement to conservation all year round
a sponsor-funded Wild Tracks education enrichment programme for all schools
ongoing support for wildlife conservation

Wild Tracks is designed for individuals, families, schools, communities and organisations who want their physical activity to connect to and protect something real and meaningful.
