Our problems are exponential, but our solutions have been linear.
The threats to our planet’s health are increasing exponentially, while our solutions are only increasing incrementally. Conservation is not succeeding fast enough. We believe conservation science must shift from a descriptive, discovery-based science focused on cataloguing the demise of species to an interdisciplinary field that seeks to engineer and deploy solutions at a global scale.
We are harnessing the latest advances in technology and identifying key opportunities for innovation to change they way we do things, and ultimately, protect species around the world.
We have built an approach to systematically take promising innovations from the lab to the marketplace. We are building an ecosystem of support for conservation innovators to develop their solutions, test them with experts in the field, and finally, scale effective and market-based conservation solutions.
Explore Our programs to develop & scale solutions
Amazon CoLab
The Amazon CoLab is a six-month acceleration program to support innovator teams in the Artisanal Mining Grand Challenge with developing, testing, and advancing solutions to protect people and ecosystems in the Amazon. Teams test their solutions with regional partners based in the Amazon.
The Garage
The Garage is where Conservation X Labs engineers new technologies and provides technical assistance to our innovators and grantees. We focus on developing and advancing solutions that will address the underlying drivers of extinction from prototype to field- or market-ready product.
Oceans X Labs
Oceans X Labs was a conservation technology accelerator launched in partnership with World Wildlife Fund. It was the first accelerator program to complement our Grand Challenges for Conservation. Our cohort of aquaculture-focused companies have gone on to secure major investments.
