If you're at the #POSIT conference and interested in talking about #data and models for #biodiversity monitoring, our Chief Conservation Officer & Co-founder, Jorge Ahumada, would love to chat! Excited to put these data insights into practice for #conservation!

Watch and learn about our work with Catona Climate & Trees for the Future in Kenya! 👏🌍 See our Co-Founder, President & Chief Development Officer, Chrissy Durkin, share how we're leveraging acoustics and advances in AI and large-data processing to tell us what's happening within an ecosystem. 🔊🌿

🌟  NEW PROJECT & PARTNERSHIP! Officially announcing our partnership with Planet Indonesia and our first project combining bioacoustics and camera trapping in Kalimantan, Indonesia. In combining these methodologies we'll be able to more efficiently monitor birds, amphibians, and mammals to see how the community-designed initiatives, led by our partners at Planet Indonesia, are affecting native species. 📰 ➡ Learn more by reading our latest blog https://lnkd.in/gtvcQ9KF 📸  from Planet Indonesia 💚 #wildmon #bioacoustics #CameraTrapping #malaysia #borneo #BiodiversityMonitoring #WildlifeMonitoring #WildlifeConservation #conservation #NatureTech #biodiversity

Back on the water! 🌊 WEEK 2 UPDATE: Chrissy Durkin and the Sea Change team's GB Row Challenge! 🔔 As weather finally permitted this week, the Sea Change Row team was able to get back on the water after having to take shelter in the Dover Marina due to some intense winds and tides. Making some great progress yesterday, they've reached West Bay just south of Bridport and are awaiting another wind storm before they keep continuing along this challenge. Way to push through ladies! Although a great challenge, as we get updates from Chrissy, we keep hearing about what an amazing and adrenaline filled experience this is. The entire #WildMon team is applauding your efforts. 💚 💭 See the team's latest video update where they talk crossing the channel, bumpy waters, battling ship washes and wind against tides ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gJrxSAXk 📍 Check out their live tracker and see the nature projects and stories they've highlighted on their journey. From dolphin research to seagrass restoration projects, we're loving learning about the work being done along the coast! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eUx2zv-G #RowWithAPurpose #OceanResearch #WorldsToughestRowingRace #SeaChange

1️⃣ Week One: it feels like yesterday - and also years ago - that we set off from Tower Bridge to such incredible support from our friends and families and had a glorious row down the #Thames (highlight being a #porpoise 🐬 spotted at sunset just after coming under the Dartford crossing)!! Let's be honest, since then it hasn't been the week we'd hoped for - but boy have we learned a lot... about the #ocean 🌊, about our boat 🚣♀️, about one another and about ourselves. 💨 Facing 20kn onshore winds on day 2 while navigating between the #shipping channel 🚢 and the land ⛱️ was a significant test requiring quick thinking, rapid deployment of equipment and some troubleshooting on the fly. 🤢🥱 dealing with this so early meant it came on top of nausea and sleep deprivation as our bodies hadn't had a chance to adjust to the sea yet. This made it waay tougher than it would have been even just a few days later. Everyone did brilliantly but we lost an oar and damaged one of our most important ropes which was a blow so early on! 🕐 24 hours later we were experiencing just how satisfying it is to eat up the miles as we pushed past Dover at the end of a favourable tide... little thinking we'd be back a day later and still here at the end of the week ⏳️ So much to be said about having to make the call to come into a marina so early on, but we've seen it as just another element of the #challenge to be dealt with, and have made the most of the opportunity to get truly #shipshape for what's to come in the weeks ahead. Our oar is recovered and our rope fixed🪢, our cabins sorted and organised, a few improvements made to our set-up, and everyone fighting fit and raring to go again... hopefully in just 24 hours time 🤞🤞🤞🤩 GB Row Challenge Kat Bruce Madeline Craig Jess Mc Iver Lorena Nichols Chrissy Durkin Aoife Luscombe Sponsors: Silverstrand Capital Walking Softer Nature4Climate OSB Group ERM Ørsted RWE Ecosulis Kelp Blue Islandbridge #VLSCapital Agathos Management LLP Inspirit Capital #locus Partners: NatureMetrics WildMon Better Worlds Krenshaw Films Nature Tech Collective Harwin RS Aqua Ltd Porvair Filtration Group Simply Sustainable #seachange #ocean #adventure #expedition #oceanrowing
