👉 tinyurl.com/gfimpact24
Fellow Changemakers,
We're excited to share our 2nd annual impact report:
💰 $32,421.21 paid out through conservation data income
🌎 1433 commits to the Green Globe
🤝 25 local community partners
💫 16 AI assistants, including for Indigenous science, climate policy and rainforest delineation
📊 3.7 TB of environmental data collected
🏆 1 unforgettable @XPRIZE Rainforest Finals
But our proudest achievement? Our unwavering commitment to communities first! 👥🌳
From our global data council to Indigenous scientists and decentralized MRV, we're ensuring local voices lead the way in our technological fight against deforestation.
To all our supporters and friends: Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we're making a real difference! 💚

Proud of one of our partner communities @cobecnet joining their first ever @gitcoin round 🌱
Let’s give them a warm gitcoin welcome 🙏 🌱
We are not just talking, we are doing it hard - very impactful. We are not stopping until the last mangrove degraded hectare is restored. This is your chance to be part of this impact. Hit here explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projec… @BillGates @GainForestNow @sustainsurf @PlantForThePlan

For the last 4 years, I've had the privilege of leading the @ETHBiodivX team with @alpineedna and @stefanomintchev as we competed in the @xprize Rainforest 🌿🌎
Our team has prepared a three part mini series on our work in the beautiful Amazon rainforest
Watch Part 1 below 👇
The @ETHBiodivX team arrives in #Brazil for @xprize Rainforest finals - a 5-yr, $10M competition to better understand #Rainforest #Ecosystems. They test #Drones that deliver canopy sensors, #EDNA samples, & #AI to measure biodiversity together with local Indigenous communities.

We went sampling to the mangrove ecosystem in Chiapas, Mexico for the #LeDNA project . Thanks to @alpineedna and @CatiaALPereira, park biologists & fishermen. Hopefully #eDNA from these birds was captured!

🌿 Discover the tech behind @ETHBiodivX, @xprize Rainforest finalist!🧬They bridge biodiversity gaps with drones collecting eDNA samples from forests and water sources. Their eDNA Backpack Lab enables rapid, on-the-go environmental DNA analysis. #XPRIZE #Biodiversity

What we are building is not for us "scientists" it is for #Everyone! This is what will change the world, the #people will change it, and the first step will be here in the Amazon empowering the indigenous to study and protect their own homes!

We might not be the Brazilian Team, but we are the Amazonian one 🪶
I'm so proud of @GainForestNow and @ETHBiodivX for bringing Indigenous and local community voices to the @xprize Rainforest competition - and we are just getting started 💚

1/4 🌿 Exciting news! Last month, SNI was honored to participate in the @WorldBioForum in Davos.
Our Head of Field Research & Partnerships, @AleMazzi333, shared our innovative approach using blockchain to fund and monitor biodiversity projects.

Great fieldwork with Toni & @David_10hd at #Hintersteiner #See to collect #eDNA samples for the #LeDNA project! Glad to contribute to this global #lake #biodiversity assessment, led by @alpineedna & @CatiaALPereira from @ETH_en!! #TIWAG @BOKUvienna #PartofthePlan #ForNature

The BUYO sampling was really difficult due to access to the lake and eDNA sampling but the members of my strong and experienced team, in the end they emerged victorious as usual. thanks @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame (N'GUESSAN KOUAMÉ Emmanuel @blackboy (HONGO Koffi Anderson). – at Ivory Coast

Newest paper with @alpineedna investigating best strategies to extract dissolved state of eDNA is now published in Environmental DNA journal ! We compared three approaches on their effectiveness in recovering max DNA, removing inhibitors and cost (1/5)
So many precious #eDNA samples from many hours and hours of a global group of people who share a passion for #biodiversity. Keep them coming! 💪🎉

To have tomorrow's adults aware of environmental protection, we need eco-citizen education for students today

Land sampling on our body of water was difficult, we had to take a canoe. In the end, everything went well and it was a great experience. Thank you very much @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame Hongo Koffi Anderson. Above all, a huge thank you to the LeDNA project and @alpineedna – at Ivory Coast

Crazy weather didn’t make it easy! But we did it. At @Uni_Insubria very thrilled of being part of the global #eDNA project #LeDNA. Nice trip around lakes #lugano #comabbio #varese
Thanks @alpineedna and colleagues. looking forward the outcomes

Setting the high-latitude record for the global lake DNA project at
68° N with @deepi_mp (the mountain climber), @MajewskaR (stuck with a butterfly), and master Arctic eDNA filterer Lucía Sainz Escudero. Thank you @alpineedna & @CatiaALPereira! #eDNA #LeDNA #ForNature
Last weekend we went eDNA sampling in three lakes in Lofoten, as part of a global effort to sample nature on Biodiversity Day. Great surroundings and great weather #BiodiversityDay #PartOfThePlan #ForNature #LeDNA
