The Digital Disruption and the Future of Conservation project aimed to enhance the mindful exploration of disruptive digital technologies by the conservation sector to empower innovators to create more equitable and effective conservation approaches.
In July 2023, we launched the second version of the Digital Disruption for Conservation Toolkit, which is designed to provide conservation practitioners with an introduction to Web 3.0 and AI concepts and their potential use for nature conservation. The toolkit clarifies the terms, opportunities and challenges associated with blockchain and AI technologies to give nature practitioners an understanding of their potential and risks for conservation.
Over the last year, the Digital Disruption and the Future of Conservation project also supported organisations including WWF Netherlands, The Wildlife Trusts, WCS Indonesia and Mandai Nature with their digital transformation and disruption journeys by facilitating a series of capacity-building workshops and presentations. During the Unearthodox Learning Festival, the project built on the reflections from these and other forward-thinking conservation organisations by hosting two conversations, one on ‘Leveraging new digital technologies for conservation impact’ and another on ‘Practical digital strategies for conservationists’.
All the outputs from the project's fascinating journey into the digital disruption for conservation space can be found in the project resource library.
