Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ted Schmitt - Using AI to Save Animals
Q: What was the aha moment that led to focusing on conservation technology?
The realization came from seeing how data existed in silos and wasn't helping managers on the ground; the opportunity was to solve practical adoption barriers and empower frontline teams with tools and data they could own and act on.
Ted Schmitt - Using AI to Save Animals
Q: What is EarthRanger in a nutshell?
EarthRanger is a data integration and visualization platform that pulls together diverse data streams—GPS collars, satellite imagery, weather, camera traps, and more—into a single operational picture to support all aspects of protected area management, not just security.
Alex Dehgan - Snow Leopards and Surfing Hippos
Q: Can you share a couple of breakthrough ideas from your portfolio that illustrate how technology can transform conservation on the ground?
Wild Me uses AI and machine vision to track hundreds of thousands of individual animals across many species, enabling scalable population monitoring. Lineless fishing traps and other sensor-based, edge-AI tools demonstrate how innovative tech can reduce bycatch, improve livelihoods, and protect biodiversity, all while maintaining local economic activity.
Alex Dehgan - Snow Leopards and Surfing Hippos
Q: How do you decide where to focus Conservation X Labs' efforts given the multiple environmental threats and regions you work in?
We look at external evidence and urgency, such as emissions impact from projects like air conditioning efficiency, and then pair that with our belief in rapid testing and open innovation. We fund and run challenges and prizes to define the problem, source diverse ideas, and test solutions in real-world settings to scale those that work.
Alex Dehgan - Snow Leopards and Surfing Hippos
Q: You mentioned you walked into Afghanistan with no permission to work there. How did you navigate that real-world risk while trying to establish a national park early on?
We focused on embedding ourselves with local communities, sleeping in homes, and building trust rather than forcing a top-down approach. By tying our work to the well-being and livelihoods of people, we reduced conflict and gained protection through deep community ties, which allowed us to operate despite political and security challenges.
