Environment
The Earth's vital signs are far from healthy. For example, huge numbers of plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. Climate change is increasing the prevalence and severity of natural disasters. And our oceans are 10 times more polluted than they were in 1980.
We believe that technology should not be in opposition to nature. Instead, it should help nature thrive and reduce the impact of human activities on the planet. To develop sustainably, we need come together and reduce humanity's collective footprint. We need to take less and give more.
Projects and Programs
Forests cover nearly one third of the world's land surface, but logging, poaching, and unsustainable land use result in the loss of tens of millions of hectares each year. We are committed to protecting forests and species habitats with innovative technology solutions.
Nature Guardians: Palawan Rainforest, Philippines
Detecting the sound of threats to the rainforest ecosystem like illegal logging using cloud AI and bioacoustics.
Nature Guardians: Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
Detecting the sound of threats to the rainforest ecosystem and studying the endangered spider monkey using cloud AI and bioacoustics.
Pollution, overuse, and climate change affect the health of our oceans. Technology can help conservation workers more efficiently protect endangered marine life and restore coral reefs.
Smart Whale Sounds, Ireland
Using cloud AI and bioacoustics to study whales, dolphins, and porpoises off Ireland’s south coast
With more than 85% of wetlands lost globally, we are committed to developing cutting-edge solutions to protect river, lake, and coastal wetlands.
Nature Guardians: Aoos Gorge, Greece
Using cloud AI and bioacoustics to detect the sound of gunshots from poachers that threaten local wildlife.
