About

Conservation needs better technology. Most organizations can’t build it themselves.

We build it for them. Open-source machine learning tools for counting fish, detecting fires, identifying animals, and monitoring ecosystems. Free to use. Free to modify. Built with the people who use them.

Better tools. Better data. Better outcomes.

We build custom conservation tools adapted to your specific needs and datasets, empowering organizations with actionable environmental insights. Our expertise spans the full development lifecycle—from data collection and model training to deployment and maintenance.

Custom AI/ML Model Development

We design and train machine learning models tailored to your conservation challenges, whether it's species identification, behavior detection, or environmental monitoring.

Data Pipeline & Processing

We build efficient systems to process large-scale datasets — terabytes of audio, video, or sensor data — turning raw information into meaningful insights.

Deployment & Integration

We deliver production-ready solutions that integrate with your existing infrastructure, from edge devices in the field to cloud-based platforms.

Open-Source Tools

Most of our work is open-source, ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and long-term sustainability for your organization.

Tracking forest elephants

Enables monitoring of populations and detection of poaching threats

Developed an acoustic analyzer that processes years of audio recordings at scale, automatically detecting elephant rumbles and gunshots in continuous soundscapes.

Monitoring salmon migration

Enables precise population tracking

Built SalmonVision — a computer vision system using underwater cameras, sonar, and drones to automatically count and classify salmon species in real-time across multiple river sites.

Detecting forest fires early

Detecting fires from 35km away, protecting forests in Europe

Enhanced Pyronear's ML model for real-time fire detection from tower-mounted cameras, minimizing false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to early smoke signatures.

Identifying individual bears

Enables population monitoring, and behavioral research

Built a non-invasive facial recognition system using instance segmentation and metric learning to identify individual bears from camera trap photos without physical tagging.
