Help us build the next tool

Every tool we ship is free and open source for the people protecting wild places. None of them get built without support.

We’re a small team of engineers and ecologists building open-source AI for conservation. Every tool on this site started the same way: a field problem, a scoped plan — and a partner who decided it should exist. Sponsorships and partnerships are what turn the next idea into a deployed tool. Here’s how you can help.

🤝 Partner With Us

Three kinds of partners keep this work going. Pick the one that sounds like you.

For NGOs & researchers

Build it with us

You know the field problem; we know the models. Together we turn camera traps, hydrophones, and drone surveys into systems that run every day.

That’s how every tool on this site got made — with partners like the Cornell Lab and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

Field deployments designed together
Grant applications with us as technical partner
Pilots before you commit
Open source, yours to run

For foundations & philanthropy

Fund the long game

A model is cheap to train and expensive to keep useful. Long-horizon funding covers what project budgets rarely do.

Maintenance, retraining, support for the people using the tools — and the freedom to start the projects still waiting on a backer.

Back a project waiting on funding
Keep fielded tools maintained for years
Capacity building with field teams
Shared infrastructure for the whole sector

For companies

Lend your expertise

Your engineers, your hardware, or your cloud budget — pointed at a conservation problem, they ship tools this year, not someday.

Our wildfire work with Pyronear shows what that buys: detection that spots smoke minutes after ignition, running across European forests today.

Sponsor a deployment end to end

Have something in mind?

A scoped project, a long-term programme, or just an idea — tell us what you're thinking and we'll tell you what it could become.

✅ Proven in the Field

Support doesn't stop at launch. These systems run in the field every day — spotting wildfire smoke minutes after ignition, counting wild salmon as they migrate upriver, and surveying seal colonies from the air.

Early Forest Fire Detection

Democratize open and low-tech solutions for fighting wildfires, for the benefit of the ecosystems and the citizens.

Wild Salmon Migration Monitoring

The project monitors wild salmon migration to ensure the number passing through meets state regulations, addressing threats from human activities like fisheries and dams.

Wadden Sea Seal Monitoring

Automated seal population monitoring system using AI to count, classify, and identify individual seals from aerial imagery in the Wadden Sea.

🌱 Fund a Project

These projects are designed, scoped, and waiting on funding. Sponsor one and we'll build it in the open.

Snow Leopard Monitoring

Non-invasive snow leopard monitoring using computer vision analysis of camera trap photos to identify individual animals.

Bird Flu Monitoring

Utilize drones for precise monitoring of breeding seabird colonies by detection of live and dead adults and chicks to determine survival and reproduction and asses the impact of avian influenza.
