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.
CXL helped create the field of conservation technology and continues to lead the way through launching impactful programming that allows for diverse participation. We are co-creating the future of conservation on a global scale by creating a new framework for solving the extinction crisis, developing strong international partnerships, and sharing our expertise through conservation curriculum and representation at global events.
