About this grant
Conservation X Labs (CXL) is a nonprofit organization working at the intersection of biodiversity, technology, and innovation to prevent the sixth mass extinction. One of their flagship strategic initiatives, 'Disrupt the Field of Conservation,' is part of their broader mission to activate the next generation of conservationists by massively expanding the field with new disciplines, new solvers, new courses and approaches, new opportunities to participate, and new thought leadership. The goal is to enable conservation efforts to match the speed and scale of the climate and biodiversity crises. CXL deploys cutting-edge technology, convenes interdisciplinary communities, and leverages innovation and marketplace forces to confront pressing environmental challenges. Their open innovation model has funded over $12M in breakthrough solutions, supported 165 game-changing innovations, and generated $570M+ in follow-on support to innovators. In-house invention work includes wildlife tracking tools and neglected pathogen assays. The 'Disrupt the Field of Conservation' initiative focuses on training, collaboration, field deployments, and thought leadership to advance transformational rather than incremental conservation. It aims to bring in expertise and practitioners from outside traditional conservation disciplines to develop novel solutions to biodiversity loss and climate change.
