This #ClimateWeek, we launched the South America Fire Fund: a $100M effort to end destructive wildfire in South America within this decade.
We are at CBD #COP17 in Yerevan, Armenia! 🇦🇲
The CXL team will be on the ground all week sharing tech tools, open innovation updates, and how we're making biodiversity data useful for small businesses.
Here’s where to find us this week: conservationxlabs.com/blog-p…

Down with the invasive mosquitoes and ticks.
Proud to lead a coalition letter to @EPA today recommending pro-innovation reforms for advanced pest control tech, from gene drives to Wolbachia, along with my @JoinFAI colleagues @ZacharyGraves, @maxbodach, and @banksianr.
Your DAF can hack extinction. 🦏
DAF money has already been given to charity, but it does nothing until you direct it. Today, send it to the field!

ICCF convened a Congressional staff briefing to explore how emerging technologies — including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, genomics, remote sensing, and advanced data analytics — are rapidly reshaping the future of global conservation. The session brought together leading innovators whose work is demonstrating how cutting‑edge tools can strengthen U.S. leadership in biodiversity protection, ecosystem resilience, and natural security.
The briefing featured Matt James, CEO of the Colossal Foundation and Chief Animal Officer of @colossal, and Alex Dehgan, CEO of @conservationx and former Chief Scientist for USAID — two leaders at the forefront of applying biotechnology, AI, and advanced analytics to global conservation challenges.

#NYCW2026
Alex Dehgan is at @colossal's Biotech Rodeo, speaking today on a panel about AI in conservation.
The biodiversity crisis is outpacing our ability to process the data needed to fight it — AI could help close that gap, while raising risks of its own.
Say hello if you're there!
Last #CXLFireChallenge spotlight 🔥
Wildfire Robotics & NoFloCo field-tested a new approach to prescribed fire: remotely placing fire breaks with a long robotic "snake" to improve perimeter control and situational knowledge during narrow burn windows.
"Humans are the aggressor, wildlife the hapless victim." That's the story we're taught.
Our own Nitin Sekar learned otherwise after years in India's Buxa Tiger Reserve.
