In this session of the Unearthodox Future of Conservation Learning Festival, we warmly invite you to join us as we showcase a few innovative projects that use Web 3.0 tools for conservation. The speakers will share their journey of utilising digital disruption for positive impact, including why they chose a Web 3.0 tool as the best solution to their conservation problem.

The session seeks to empower conservation practitioners with a curious mind with the knowledge and motivation to embrace new digital technologies in their organisations and the wider conservation sector by presenting clear practical steps and inspiring real-life examples.
