  The recent increase in public and academic interest in preserving
biodiversity has led to the growth of the field of conservation technology.
This field involves designing and constructing tools that utilize technology to
aid in the conservation of wildlife. In this article, we will use case studies
to demonstrate the importance of designing conservation tools with
human-wildlife interaction in mind and provide a framework for creating
successful tools. These case studies include a range of complexities, from
simple cat collars to machine learning and game theory methodologies. Our goal
is to introduce and inform current and future researchers in the field of
conservation technology and provide references for educating the next
generation of conservation technologists. Conservation technology not only has
the potential to benefit biodiversity but also has broader impacts on fields
such as sustainability and environmental protection. By using innovative
technologies to address conservation challenges, we can find more effective and
efficient solutions to protect and preserve our planet's resources.
