Suchismita Chatterjee's Glo-Paw App Brings Technology And Community Together To Protect Wildlife

A new chapter in wildlife conservation is unfolding with the launch of Glo-Paw, a mobile application created to help track, protect, and better understand animals in their natural habitats. The app is the vision of Suchismita Chatterjee, a cybersecurity product specialist and innovator, who combined her expertise in technology with her passion for conservation to design a tool that makes protecting wildlife more accessible to everyone.

At its heart, Glo-Paw is about giving people whether they are rangers, conservationists, or nature lovers the ability to make a difference. With just a photo, the app’s built-in intelligence can identify an animal, provide quick facts, and highlight its level of vulnerability. Even in remote areas where internet access is scarce, Glo-Paw continues to work offline, ensuring no sighting is lost.

The app also features a live mapping system where users can log sightings, tag forest officials, and receive alerts if animals roam beyond safe boundaries. This reporting function is already being hailed as a way to reduce the unnecessary killing of animals such as bison and wolves when they leave protected zones. A premium live map feature adds another layer of insight for researchers and conservation teams, helping them act faster and smarter in protecting endangered species.

A Patent to Strengthen the Mission

Adding to the app’s momentum, Suchismita Chatterjee has secured a German-approved patent for a “Lost and Found Animal Tag.” This patented invention is designed to help track and recover lost or displaced animals, directly complementing Glo-Paw’s mission of safeguarding wildlife. Together, the app and the patented tag create a powerful ecosystem of protection, blending community involvement with technology-backed innovation.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, Chatterjee shared: "The idea for Glo-Paw came from witnessing how often animals become vulnerable once they cross into human spaces. By bringing together technology, community, and conservation, we can create real change and give these creatures a fighting chance."

Already recognized with nominations for several innovation awards, Glo-Paw is gaining attention as more than just an app it is becoming a movement. With the foundation of patented technology and the passion of its growing community, it has been described as the “Instagram for animal lovers with a purpose.”
