The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) through its EarthRanger program is excited to announce the availability of two Conservation Tech Awards (CTA) for the fourth consecutive year – each in the amount of $15,000.
We seek organizations developing and deploying technology to protect our planet’s incredible creatures, their habitats, and the communities that depend on them. Apply for the 2024 Conservation Tech Award. Deadline August 23.
With nearly $100,000 given since its inception, the CTA is one of many investments by AI2 to catalyze innovation, celebrate impact, and accelerate the adoption of technology-driven solutions for wildlife conservation.
From promoting human-wildlife coexistence to discovering new insights into animal behaviors and safeguarding threatened populations, the grant has provided critical funding to organizations demonstrating the transformative power of incorporating technology into their conservation missions.
"The Conservation Tech Award celebrates the commitment, hard work, and creative vision driving meaningful outcomes in conservation," said EarthRanger Director Jes Lefcourt.
"We are inspired by the innovation of past winners like the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, Club Arribada, and other past grantees, and AI2 is proud to continue this tradition, empowering and recognizing organizations who harness technology to protect our planet's precious wildlife." Technology is rapidly revolutionizing the field of conservation.
Advancements, including satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, and acoustic sensors, enable us to enhance our understanding, monitoring, and protection of wildlife and their habitats across the planet. Innovative and effective conservation solutions are paramount as we face an ever-growing list of environmental challenges like climate change, habitat loss, and biodiversity decline.
While technology has become a powerful tool for conservationists, we urgently need to improve its application and effectiveness to tackle our immense environmental challenges.
