Innovative Conservtion Science to Meet Challenges

Our world faces unprecedented demands for food, water and energy and meeting these demands without exacerbating climate change and degrading natural systems is the human challenge of our generation. Some organizations are confronting these challenges head on through a commitment to innovation that focuses on everything from natural defenses against extreme weather to encouraging sustainable energy.Drones that map remote coastlines and robot grouse to monitor wildlife. Nanotechnology and materials science for clean water and energy. By incorporating science and innovations from fields outside traditional conservation biology, our goal is to transform not only the capacity of conservation science but also the depth and breadth of its tools and the effectiveness of its practitioners.
