Protecting Life Overlooked

"when farmers increased their use of pesticides, the infant mortality rate rose by almost 8%. This corresponds to an additional 1,334 infant deaths. Or, for every 1% increase in pesticides, there was a 0.25% increase in the infant mortality rate"

You can work with pangolin, gibbon, turtles and more while you'll spend less money than you would at home! If you want conservation experience, this is an amazing opportunity!

Yet wildlife only receives about 1% of all donations. Our priorities are awfully skewed

¡New blog alert!

Christian Wappl gives a great take on one of the most controversial of conservation topics - to remove or not remove invasive species 🤔

Do you agree with him??

AI or reality?

AI skeptics, don't fear! This is as real as a digital video can be. We have developed the NATURE Scanner which is the first photogrammetry system that can scan live animals, can be brought in a single backpack, and used without electricity.

More than just a resource for scientists, this is an incredible source of curiosity for students, teachers, and just about anyone!

A similar project inspired our 3D scanner for live animals, and eventually we'd love to create this kind of library

Just 6.74% of the planet has been sampled, with high elevations and deep seas particularly unknown. Europe, the US, Australia and South Africa accounted for 82% of all records, and more than half of records focused on less than 2% of known species.

"our society values one human life more than the millions of years of evolution that can be eclipsed almost instantaneously in the extinction of another species."

Did you know male orchid bees use exotic scents to attract females? We attracted this one with eucalyptus oil.

What are some flowers that attract bees in your backyard?
