The U.S. Department of State runs Zoohackathon, a global competition to develop new
and innovative technological tools to fight wildlife trafficking. U.S. Embassies around
the world host Zoohackathon events following the hackathon model. Over 48 hours,
university students, coders, scientists, and wildlife enthusiasts collaborate in teams at zoos, wildlife organizations, technology start-up facilities, and education centers to create software solutions for real wildlife conservation problems. Zoohackathon solutions can take many different forms including websites, mobile apps, website extensions, online databases, and software. At each competition, an expert panel of judges selects a winning solution. A Washington DC-based committee then reviews the local winning solutions and chooses a global winner. The global winner wins a prize and will potentially receive support to further develop and deploy their solution.
