How can we unleash AI to save – not destroy – the planet? Hear from top experts and innovators on how we can bring the best out of AI for conservation and restoration.

AI is unlocking new ways to monitor, protect and restore landscapes at an unprecedented scale. Local innovations can lead the way – whether that’s AI-powered satellite data to track deforestation, bioacoustics monitoring to protect biodiversity, or aerial imagery to identify tree species.

How can we work across sectors to develop innovative AI solutions for the planet? What does the future hold for AI-driven restoration? Join this digital forum to find out.

Agenda

11:00–11:10

Opening remarks

11:10–11:50

Session 1: Open access AI for community-led restoration

Indigenous groups in the Amazon are using AI-powered satellite data to monitor deforestation, while communities in West Africa are working with bioacoustics monitoring to preserve biodiversity. Discover these and many more success stories that demonstrate the transformative potential of AI when guided by local knowledge and ethical frameworks.

11:55–12:35

Session 2: AI for global biodiversity and climate goals

Following the historic global biodiversity agreement, and with the world now turning its focus to the COP30 climate conference in Brazil, there has never been a more critical time for climate and biodiversity action.

In this session, our speakers will discuss how to work across sectors to build innovative AI-driven solutions, how to ensure that these solutions are inclusive and equitable, and what the next wave of AI innovations will look like.
