The three Lucid Mobile apps below have been developed by international agencies concerned with various conservation activities with funding from a range of agencies.
UICN ID Especies
This Lucid Mobile key (Android version) to trees endangered or restricted to Mesoamerica was developed for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) – in Spanish. Based on conspicuous characteristics of trees and anatomical wood, the objective is to provide an easy to use identification tool for endangered species of rare and of high commercial value. It is being used to lay the foundation for the construction of a gene bank to be used in restoration processes in the future.
Currently the key incorporates 71 species restricted to Mesoamerica. The project was funded by USAID and UKaid.
IDentifyIt Cycads
The IdentifyIt Cycads app forms part of the SANBI Species Identification Tool which currently consists of 140 CITES-listed South African plant and animal species, their look-alike species as well as traded parts and derivatives.
The project is a collaboration between the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and TRAFFIC, the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, a strategic alliance of WWF-World Wide Fund for Nature and IUCN-The World Conservation Union. The project was sponsored by NORAD, SANBI and the Mazda Wildlife Fund.
IDentifyIt Species
The IDentifyIt Species Tool is a practical, easy-to-use identification guide that works as an elimination key. It was created to assist customs officials, law enforcement officers, border police and Environmental Management Inspectors (EMI’s) with the identification of South African TOPS and CITES-listed species, thereby enabling better regulation and monitoring of the local and international trade in these threatened and endangered species
