Enjoy The Lemur Conspiracy, our conservation innovation newsletter???????????????????????????
Did you know a group of lemurs is called a conspiracy? The Lemur Conspiracy is our?conservation innovation?monthly newsletter - conspiring to transform?conservation. Enjoy!
?The Lemur Conspiracy
Conspiring to transform?conservation through technology and innovation
Announcing eleven finalists competing?for $750,000?to fund artisanal mining innovations
The finalist innovations are?using plants grown on contaminated land to produce?renewable energy, developing systems to capture mercury, using AI and open data to detect new mining activity, and more.
Nearly one year ago, the Artisanal Mining Grand Challenge?was launched in San Jose, California, asking for the best new solutions to make artisanal mining more responsible.
Now we are down to eleven finalists - they have gone through several review processes, a peer feedback & revision stage, developed pitch decks and videos as semifinalists, and finally they have?reached?the final round!
The finalists include solutions that focus on?mercury prevention, improved data for miners and for formalizing the artisanal mining sector, mapping solutions, and restoration of the environment.
Reserve your spot at our virtual?Innovation Summit & Awards Ceremony to learn about the innovators'' journeys and watch the?final round of judging to?determine the winners.

???Notes From The Lab
August?2020 Garage Team - Washington, DC
A note from Henrik:
Over the summer, we have been working with a phenomenal and dedicated group of fellows to advance the progress of the Sentinel System.
We have built a software that allows one to create and use their own wildlife-focused machine learning algorithms without having experience in software or coding themselves. ? The Sentinel System aims to make any existing tool smart. By accessing the SD card slot, we directly read what the trail camera or sound trap is recording, and run the AI on our system. This way users can still use the tools they already have, and we can focus on our strength -?AI in the field.
Once we spot something that you are interested in - such as that pesky squirrel eating your vegetable garden?(Sam''s garden is pictured above) or that endangered species you have been searching for years - we will send you a text or email and let you know. Now. Whether you put your device in your backyard or the middle of the Amazon.
