Millennium Fellowship Project: Eco-Control
Eco-Control is a organization focused on two main ventures: combating the invasive species crisis in Florida and reducing recidivism rates of formerly incarcerated individuals through employment and skills training. Eco-Control aims to train these formerly incarcerated individuals to remove and decrease invasive species populations within Florida. We are currently focused on developing infrared detecting technology to track invasive Burmese Pythons in Florida.
