Our Mission - Saving Life on Earth
We’re working to solve some of the most pressing issues of biodiversity and biosecurity management through innovative technology.
More and more people around the world are connecting to nature through technology, submitting and analysing local environmental data through a variety of software applications.
BioSMART technology seeks to connect the data - and the people - together, in order to produce more meaningful results for scientific research, food security and environmental conservation.
The stakes here are very high. Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate, with the fastest rate of extinction in 66 million years.
And it’s not just about preserving the beauty of nature. It’s about human survival.
Humans are inextricably linked to biodiversity. For example, in 2017 $7.9 trillion worth of crops worldwide were destroyed from insect damage. In the US alone, $70 billion is spent annually on pest control.
Decisions are being made every day about property developments, natural resource allocation, landcare management, insurance and much more. These decisions impact all of us. Which is why reliable, comprehensive data, involving the broadest possible community of stakeholders, is more important than ever.
We can no longer afford to undervalue biodiversity. The first step is to make sure technology innovation helps connect people to nature and better understand what’s there. Because we can’t know what to save if we don’t know what we’re losing.
