Conservation X Wikia



Welcome to the Conservation X Wiki
This wiki serves as a repository of our research for the global oceans conservation community on the 10 Grand Challenges on the Oceans developed for the Oceans Big Think at Scripps Oceanographic Institute in November 2015. This wiki serves both  Conservation X Labs  and the  Oceans X Labs  .

About Conservation X Labs
We are designing the future of conservation.

Conservation X Labsis a new startup that seeks to create a different model for conservation. At its core, it is an innovation platform focused on developing new disruptive breakthroughs in technology, behavior change, and financial incentives, using the power of open collaborative problem solving, directed research and development, and the market. It focuses on developing innovations that improve the efficacy, speed, cost, and scale of global conservation efforts with the aim of ending human induced extinction. In particular, CX Labs addresses three fundamental problems in conservation:  Engineering resilience against environmental change, changing demand and incentive structures for the protection of species, and by improving our understanding of species threats and biology through modern technology. CX Labs’ goal is to create the platforms, coupled with the scientific and technological tools, that empower the larger conservation community.
