Candidate skills

Being an Ecotrack data administrator is similar to being a bookkeeper of conservation. People with bookkeeping skills make great data administrators. People with IT or GIS skills are also great candidates. Students of business/IT/GIS should consider this voluntary role as it provide excellent real world experience and looks amazing on your resume. Retired people with business and IT skills are clearly prime candidates.

Once you have learned how Ecotrack works, the role a data administrator should take less than one hour per week, but you can of course make the job as significant as you choose.
