Our everyday cell phones showed us how we impact the environment, and how it impacts us.
Imagine if….
Pristine ecosystems were infused with smart cameras to watch for threats to native biodiversity

It takes an ecosystem...
The center has allowed us to create a vital, innovative, multi-disciplinary research environment at UCLA that nourishes:
Undergrads and Graduate students...
Professors and Post-docs...
Civil Engineers and Ecologists...
Hardware designers and Information theorists..
to come together and innovate...
in matters of great importance...
and in a manner that has real impact.
