The video above isn’t from a stock library. It’s from our work in Turkmenistan—the first time camera traps captured an extended glimpse in the life of a Persian leopard mother and cubs.

The Problem
Our planet is headed towards a period of extraordinary change, and we’re losing ground in the battle to conserve it. Drivers of biodiversity loss, like climate change and invasive species, have worsened: we’re losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the normal rate.
Existing approaches have slowed the worsening of the problem, but haven’t been able to reverse these alarming trends. We’re here to disrupt that trajectory.
Our Mission
Our mission is to prevent an impending sixth mass extinction – the first in Earth’s history driven by the actions of a single species: ours.
Unlike traditional conservation efforts, Conservation X Labs focuses on leveraging the best technology, the newest innovation, interdisciplinary genius, and the power of the marketplace to boldly confront the biggest problems facing the planet.
Though humans have driven this sixth extinction, we know humans have the power to reverse it.
