Hi everyone!
If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time this topic has been introduced in this community.
I’m currently planning a large wildlife data survey in a Central African country with several partners.
I was wondering if anyone here has already used KoboToolbox for similar needs.
To be more specific, our project involves designing a transect line survey to collect all wildlife encounter signs—such as dung, footprints, vocalizations, direct observations, and other specific data.
Even though KoboToolbox wasn’t originally designed for this type of data collection, I’m confident in its ability to perform just as well as traditional tools like CyberTracker, SMART, QField, etc.
The main advantage of KoboToolbox, in my opinion, lies in its XLSForm-building flexibility, which offers a great tradeoff between customization and complexity. So, why not use KoboToolbox for this purpose?
I’d be really grateful to benefit from the experience of this community: previous use cases (both successful and challenging), insights, suggestions, and feedback are all welcome!
Could the biodiversity sector become a new frontier for KoboToolbox?
I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences! Your feedback would be invaluable in helping us refine our approach and ensure the success of this project.
Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise!
