OCEANS
Our oceans produce half the oxygen we breath, 80 percent of life on earth, 16 percent of our planet’s animal protein, and $2.5 trillion in annual commerce. But threats like climate change and the crisis of overfishing have put our oceans on an unsustainable path.

WILDLIFE
Much of our wildlife and biodiversity is threatened with extinction. By marrying technology development, storytelling, and policy change, we are working to protect keystone species and entire ecosystems.

Great Elephant Census
The first continent-wide aerial survey of African savanna elephants. Results showed a 30 percent decline in elephant populations over seven years due in most part to poaching. This data was key in new policies being implemented to protect this iconic species.
