Conservation Tech refers to the application of technology to biodiversity conservation efforts, such as tracking, monitoring, and regenerating forest and marine ecosystems. These technologies include drones, aerial imagery, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), biologgers, bioacoustic devices, sensors, environmental DNA (eDNA), and AI and machine learning (AI/ML).

Ongoing deforestation and forest degradation threaten biodiversity. This loss of natural habitat also puts nearly 50% of the world's species at risk of extinction by the end of the century unless immediate action is taken. As a result, efforts to mitigate and reverse ecosystem damage are on the rise, with companies developing innovative solutions, such as forest management systems, ocean tracking devices, and conservation platforms, to restore balance and help businesses operate with less negative environmental impact. These efforts are further supported by ambitious net-zero emissions targets, the introduction of favorable policies and frameworks, such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the popularity of conservation-led carbon offsets, such as REDD and tree planting. In addition, an escalating freshwater crisis affecting billions of people is driving the adoption of more cost-effective and sustainable desalination solutions.
