Cuba is currently experiencing a critical political, economic, and social moment. Any initiative that promotes the sustainable use and management of biodiversity, and particularly of a fauna species that could be an alternative food source for local communities and an important source of income for the inhabitants of the communities that coexist with that species, is often an impossible mission unless the communities that live with that species can earn more from supporting conservation efforts than from hunting it (including sustainable hunting). Furthermore, alongside conservation efforts, projects must consider initiatives that also generate diverse alternative protein sources to address one of the most pressing issues affecting their communities. This also includes the management of sustainable tourism at the local level and the promotion of this species by both the state and private sectors.

I chose to donate to Hive because it genuinely feels like home - a place where we all support each other’s growth.

Hive is where I discovered conferences, funding, and the nonprofit I’m now a part of.

I’m so grateful, thank you! 🧡🐝🧡

Access to what Soulcraft offers is unique, rare, and so incredibly valuable to all ages. Thanks for doing what you do to help folks remember their connection with all life and themselves!

Thank you Hive, for providing a digital home, springboard and collaborative hub for farm animal advocates. It’s amazing to see how this community has grown. Together we can achieve a better world for animals. 

Great program to save endangered animals from extinction! We hope the maned wolves return to nature and thrive!

I'm donating because I believe in Hive's power to support advocates in an inclusive, global way.

This group does such terrific work! Really appreciated seeing them in action last year.

For the Pinas!!
-Your friends at Insomni-Attack!

Love you , all and the lovingly helpful good great meaningful and valuable work you have been doing.
I love you and we love you 🥰😇💞💓

I can't imagine the plant-based movement without Hive!

We absolutely need to work together worldwide to make change happen. 💖🐝💖

small donations for animals can translate to massive impact

I support PAWS because the Philippines is still largely a breed & buy culture when it comes to pets. So many homes could be graced with the gift of a saved life once these animals are rehabilitated.

The Fungi Foundation is a global organization that works for the Fungi, their habitats, and the people who depend on them.

Launched in 2012, the Fungi Foundation is the first NGO dedicated to the fungi kingdom. Since its inception, it has achieved numerous milestones while dedicating itself to exploring the fungi world in view of increasing knowledge of their diversity, educating about their applications, and recommending public policy for their conservation. As part of our ongoing 3F initiative, the foundation played a key role in enabling Chile to become the first country in the world to include protection of fungi in its environmental legislation. More recently, the foundation proudly announced the Fantastic Fungi Education Curriculum, the world's first mycological set of courses designed for schools.

In short, the Fungi Foundation envisions a healthy planet in which Fungi are recognized, protected, and embraced as the interconnectors of nature; a mission that would be impossible without the essential support of our kind, engaged donors.

Temaikèn Foundation promotes the conservation and restoration of biodiversity in Argentina.

Temaikèn Foundation is a prominent member of the Latin American Association of Zoos and Aquariums (ALPZA); the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), and one of the few institutions certified by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in Latin America, a region currently facing the highest rate of biodiversity loss in the world (95%, according to WWF's Living Planet Report 2024).

We work with the vision that all living beings can coexist harmoniously on our planet. Our mission is “We Protect Nature Together.”

Our facilities include:

a) a zoo and aquarium, the Temaikèn Biopark;

b) a private protected natural area in the province of Misiones, the Osununú Natural Reserve;

c) a Species Recovery Center.

“One Health” approaches, a focus on ecosystem restoration, and mitigation of wildlife trafficking have become pillars that characterize most of our projects. We also reaffirm our commitment to combat biodiversity loss and contribute to stopping species extinction by joining the “Reverse the Red” movement and other relevant conservation communities.

In 2020, we signed an alliance with the IUCN to create a Species Survival Center based in Temaikèn. As the host organization, our main role is to articulate a diversity of actors with the aim of saving species and ecosystems in Argentina and in the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America.

For the next 80 years, Fundación Temaikèn has assumed the goal of transcending 100 years and becoming a recognized conservation organization, with a world-class zoo that tells stories that inspire people to change their behavior and join the effort to save wildlife and all forms of life on the planet.

With this objective, in the coming years, the Temaikèn Foundation will focus on:

-Working in collaboration and generating synergies with the most prestigious organizations in the world to multiply the impact on conservation

-Conserving and promoting the conservation of the jungle and grasslands; the wetlands of the Delta and the ecosystems of Patagonia, through restoration and conservation plans for priority species in danger throughout the country: the marsh deer, the maned wolf, the yellow cardinal, the endemic flora of Teyú Cuaré, the leopard shark, the huemul, the Patagonian frog, the Andean condor, the apipé snail, the jaguar and the scarlet macaw.

- Mitigating the effects of wildlife trafficking in South America.

- Developing a sustainability plan that allows the biopark to be self-sustaining and to exponentially increase fundraising.



Temaikèn Foundation was created with the goal of educating for conservation. Its biopark is strategically located in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Buenos Aires, with more than 16 million inhabitants, and has become a platform to promote environmental citizenship. At Temaikèn, every action prioritizes the generation of educational opportunities.

A few years after the opening of the biopark, the Species Recovery Center (CRET) was created. CRET's work is based on the organization's experience in wildlife and strengthens the Temaikèn Foundation's role in conservation. Since its creation in 2005, it has assisted more than 17,000 wild animals affected by various anthropogenic activities. This has been an effective resource for the conservation of endangered species, to mitigate the effects of illegal trafficking, and to respond to natural disasters. Its work has been strengthened through collaborations and partnerships with key government agencies and other conservation organizations, with which we share protocols, best practices, and training programs. By always maintaining the highest standards, CRET has gained national and regional recognition, becoming a highly complex rescue center that assists individuals of endangered species from all corners of the Argentine territory and plays a key role in the breeding of endangered species. Its purpose is the recovery and reintroduction of these animals into the wild, ultimately strengthening the populations of these species. Argentina, with its 2.78 million km², is a federal country with 23 jurisdictions, 17 of which are partners of the Temaikèn Foundation.

Shortly after the rescue center began to operate formally, the Temaikèn Foundation deployed activities on site with the creation of the Osununú Natural Reserve in the south of the province of Misiones. Osununú has a permanent interdisciplinary team of park rangers, researchers and educators.

A milestone in the foundation of Osununú was the massive rescue of endemic flora in response to a flood that was going to occur due to the flooding of the area.

Animal Charity Evaluators helps people help the most animals.

Do you want to help animals but find it hard to decide how? That's understandable. Trillions of animals suffer every day on farms and in the wild. The problem is vast and complex, but people around the world are making a difference.

Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in the United States dedicated to finding and promoting the most effective ways to help animals. We do this by evaluating and recommending high-impact charities, awarding strategic grants to promising projects, and raising critical funds for the animal advocacy movement. Our ultimate goal is to educate and empower individuals and organizations to make a significant and lasting positive impact on the lives of neglected animals who are often forgotten. ACE envisions a future in which no individual is given less than full moral consideration on the basis of any morally irrelevant feature of their identity, including species membership.

ACE has a unique and influential role within the effective animal advocacy movement. Our global team is composed of experienced professionals in animal advocacy, effective altruism, and research methodology. To date, we have rigorously evaluated 85 charities that work to end factory farming and create meaningful change for farmed and wild animals, and recommended 38 high-impact organizations as effective giving opportunities. Through our strategic grantmaking, we have distributed nearly $20 million to our Recommended Charities and promising advocacy projects around the globe. Since ACE began tracking this metric in 2014, we estimate that we’ve helped to influence at least $81 million within the animal advocacy movement. Over the years, we have built strong partnerships with organizations and researchers, amplifying our collective efforts to improve the lives of as many animals as possible. 

Join us! Together, we can build a future that's kind to *all* species.

The Center for Wild Animal Welfare is a policy advocacy organisation, working to improve the lives of wild animals.

The Center for Wild Animal Welfare (CWAW) is a new policy advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of wild animals today and building support for wild animal welfare as a legitimate policy concern.

We've already started engaging policymakers on wild animal-friendly urban infrastructure (e.g. bird-safe glass). In 2026, we plan to work on additional policy areas like fertility control and pesticide policy.

*A generous donor has pledged $60,000 in matched funding.*

**Who we are**

- CWAW is co-founded by [Richard Parr MBE](https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-parr-mbe-b17745163/) (former adviser to the UK Prime Minister) and [Ben Stevenson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-stevenson-8aa385202/) (researcher with Animal Ask)
- We are one of the first organizations focused exclusively on promoting evidence-based wild animal welfare policy
- We are endorsed by Wild Animal Initiative, the NYU Wild Animal Welfare Program and Animal Ethics

**Why wild animal welfare policy?**

- Wild animal welfare is one of the world's biggest problems. Wild animals face immense suffering from human activities and natural hardships
- It's extremely neglected. The US spends 500x more on companion animal welfare than the entire world spends on wild animal welfare
- It's tractable. Wild animal welfare science is beginning to identify ways we can help
- Policy is the right approach because government decisions impact countless wild animals, and governments have the capacity and authority to make large-scale changes

**What we've achieved**

- Secured two amendments to the UK's Planning and Infrastructure Bill mandating systemic consideration of wild animal welfare during construction and conservation
- Secured sympathetic discussion of wild animal welfare in UK Parliament

**What we'll do in 2026**

- Continue our work on urban infrastructure
- Start work on fertility control (e.g. research funding, expedited regulatory approval)
- Start work on pesticide policy (e.g. bans on the worst rodenticides, research funding for humane insecticides)
- Agenda-setting (e.g. publish a State of Wild Animal Welfare Policy report)

We've selected policy areas that look realistic, robust and helpful. We'll work by engaging policymakers, politicians, the media, and NGOs; and by publishing policy reports. For now, we're focused on the UK, but we want to see wild animal welfare policy succeed globally.

**We need your support**

CWAW needs additional support to increase our team's capacity, attend key conferences, and cover operational costs. A generous donor will match the next $60,000 on a 1:1 basis.

 Revolutionize ocean conservation and create a global movement to save the reef. 

Since its founding in 2017, Coral Gardeners (CG) has dared to dream very big dreams with an unwavering belief in a positive outcome to benefit all of humanity. We are the keepers of a bold mission to revolutionize ocean conservation and create a global movement to save the reef. 

Coral Gardeners began as a small band of young Tahitian surfers and divers who witnessed firsthand the rapid degradation of their local reef in Mo’orea, French Polynesia. Today, under the leadership of talented visionary and founder Titouan Bernicot, we are now an organization of more than 80 scientists, engineers, creators, entrepreneurs, and advocates dedicated to protecting the world’s coral from our rapidly changing climate. Our professional staff represent 15 countries around the world. From modest beginnings, Coral Gardeners has grown into a powerful force of innovation and service. To date we have planted more than 166,000 corals and engaged with millions of people around the world. We have numerous corporate partners and foundations in Europe and North America, including Rolex, National Geographic, and the Nature Conservancy. Our goals are audacious, we admit. And we know we don’t have time to waste. 

The cornerstone of our work takes place underwater, where we nurture the growth of coral fragments in nurseries that are then planted back onto the reef. We use science and technology as our gardening tools and our workforce are local communities whose lives are inextricably linked to the ocean. What began as a small project on the island of Mo’orea has expanded throughout French Polynesia and the Pacific with collaborative projects in development wherever reefs exist alongside committed conservationists.

An endowment protecting the Los Cedros cloud forest forever.

Held in the mists of the Ecuadorian Tropical Andes, a scientific station works with local communities to protect a cloud forest known as Los Cedros (“The Cedars”). The station encourages artists, educators, and researchers to connect with and learn from Los Cedros, whose walking palm trees and old growth lift racket-tail hummingbirds and critically endangered brown-headed spider monkeys into the clouds. Decades of interdependent artwork and scientific discovery from the station—including over 100 publications—factored into the 2021 [decision of Ecuador’s highest court](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/02/plan-to-mine-in-ecuador-forest-violate-rights-of-nature-court-rules-aoe) to ban extractive practices in the forest by upholding Los Cedros’ constitutional rights to exist and to thrive.

This ruling set a monumental precedent for worldwide Rights of Nature efforts. Yet mining companies continue to apply pressure to Los Cedros communities and Ecuadorian authorities—and if mining comes to pass in Los Cedros, it will devastate one of the most biodiverse and endemic forests in the world. Home to thousands of wildlife species, Los Cedros spans 6000 hectares of mostly primary forest habitat. There, the threatened spectacled bear builds a tree bed to feast on aguacatillo berries (tiny avocados), and the elusive jaguar has left her tracks on the banks of waterfalls. In the abundant green shadows, undiscovered fungi, insects, and orchids flourish. A glass frog hides his heartbeat under a leaf.

As one of the rare places where humans can still drink directly from cascading rivers, this refuge also protects numerous watersheds crucial to downstream communities. So, the Los Cedros Fund will prove that the station’s approach of sustainably partnering with the cloud forest and surrounding communities is best for Pachamama—all of Mother Earth, including humans—in the long term.

The Los Cedros Fund is growing an endowment for the cloud forest to be financially self-sufficient. Honoring all who’ve protected the forest for decades, the Los Cedros Fund aims to offer this new watershed of perennial support to the forest to keep artistic, educational, and scientific collaborations flowing.

We can only achieve this mission through the kindness and generosity of thoughtful donors like you.

Preserve the cave mining elephants and support the local people of Mt Elgon, a massive extinct volcano on the Kenya-Uganda border.

Mount Elgon is a massive extinct volcano on the Kenya-Uganda border in East Africa. It is believed to have risen from the surrounding Africa plains in a period of intense regional volcanic activity 24 million years ago, probably forming the highest mountain in Africa at the time. It is now quiet and has eroded down to 4,321 meters at its highest peak, Wagagai in Uganda. However, at approximately 80 km north to south and 50 km east to west, it is still huge and is said, measured by its footprint, to be the largest free-standing volcano in the world. 

The cultural heritage, landscape and ecology of Mount Elgon are under threat with serious consequences for people both locally and regionally.  This includes Mount Elgon's elephants that go deep underground to mine salt. There are many factors driving this, a key one being deforestation which impacts on the hydrology of the mountain and results in soil erosion, the loss of biodiversity and human-wildlife conflict. This is exacerbated by a fragile economic environment of low security and opportunity. Mount Elgon's people and its rich biodiversity are largely being left behind in comparison with many areas of East Africa. 

The aim of the Mount Elgon Foundation is to seek viable long-term measures that will help mitigate the challenges faced by Mount Elgon. More specifically, it wishes to: 
• reduce human-elephant conflict, protecting people, their livelihoods and the elephants; 
• prevent deforestation and promote reforestation; 
• promote further recording and preservation of local cultural heritage, and 
• provide alternative environmentally and culturally sensitive economic opportunities. 

The Foundation and its trustees currently fund or have funded the East African Wild Life Society - Mount Elgon Elephant Project (EAWLS-MEEP), cultural heritage research and community livelihood / forestry related projects. To date, the projects supported are located on the Kenya side of Mount Elgon. We aim to also fund partners who work in Uganda or who are Kenya-based and collaborate on a trans-boundary basis with others in Uganda.

The Vision of the EWT is a healthy planet and an equitable world that values and sustains the diversity of all life.

The EWT is among South Africa’s largest and
most established national non-governmental
conservation organizations.  Founded in 1973, we are a non-profit organization with an expanding footprint
throughout southern and East Africa, focusing
on conserving threatened species and ecosystems to the benefit of people. We achieve this by conducting on-the-ground research, supporting community-led conservation, training and building capacity, addressing human-wildlife conflict, monitoring threatened species, and establishing safe spaces for wildlife range expansion.

The EWT works with key partners, including
communities, businesses, landowners, academic
institutions, and governments, to create a
sustainable future for wildlife and people.
 The Endangered Wildlife Trust is dedicated to
conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern and East Africa to the benefit of all.

The EWT achieves this mission by delivering on
three strategic imperatives: Saving species,
conserving habitats, and benefiting people.
OUR STRATEGY
Our conservation programmes form the
organization’s backbone, harnessing the talent
and enthusiasm of a dynamic team of
individuals whose unique exper􀆟se and
mo􀆟va􀆟on provide them with the tools to
respond to the challenges they face in pursuit
of saving our most threatened species and
ecosystems.
The EWT is a registered Trust governed in accordance with the Trust Property Control Act No. 57 of 1988, under Master’s reference number IT 6247. The EWT is also registered in South Africa as a Non-Profit Organisation, registration number 015- 502 NPO
and Public Benefit Organisation, registration number 930 001 777

SPECIES RECOVERY
The EWT has achieved remarkable gains for many species, where downward trends in the local populations of Wattled and Grey Crowned Cranes, Piggersgill’s Frogs, the Amathole Toad, and the Riverine Rabbit have joined the Cheetah as species on a pathway to recovery. Critically Endangered
Wattled Cranes are increasing in number, now estimated at some 320 birds nationally, up 60% from their lowest numbers. The EWT has also helped reverse the decline of Endangered Grey Crowned Cranes, while Blue Crane numbers have increased from an estimated 25,500 birds nationally in 2007 to some 30,000 birds today.
SPACE FOR SPECIES
Through our range expansion work, we have secured and protected safe spaces for multiple species to thrive and we have reintroduced many threatened species back into secure and suitable landscapes. Safe space for African Wild Dogs has increased to over 1.4 million ha throughout southern Africa and their numbers and generic health have followed suit. Safe space for Cheetahs and their numbers have also increased from 217 Cheetahs on 41 reserves in South Africa in 2011, to 470 Cheetahs on 65 reserves covering over two million hectares across southern Africa.

SAFEGUARDING OUR SPECIES
To protect threatened species, we monitor them and work with partners, businesses, landowners, and communities to reduce the threats they face. We are innovating to achieve bigger impacts, as evident in our drone project’s expansion to use drones to mark power lines - reducing bird strikes safely and affordably and monitor Southern Right Whales in a way that wasn’t possible before. We continue to explore the use of eDNA to identify the presence of elusive and potentially extinct species, such as
Van Zyl’s and De Winton’s Golden Moles, so that action can be taken to save the last of their habitats.

Our pioneering Eye in the Sky carcass and wildlife poisoning detection project has already saved thousands of animals from secondary poisoning as a result of its efficient and effective success and our quick response times. The project uses the movements and behavior patterns of GPS-tracked vultures to remotely detect potential poisoning events and respond to these rapidly, alerting rangers on the ground and preventing further loss of wildlife to poisoning. We also contribute to preventing wildlife crime through the deployment of Conservation K9s to detect wildlife contraband and track poachers. These dogs help us to protect species, including rhinos, elephants, and pangolins.

Protec􀆟ng and conserving natural places is one of the most important strategies for comba􀆫ng the effects of
biodiversity loss and climate change. The EWT conserves habitats by reducing habitat loss and improving the
ecological integrity of threatened ecosystems through rehabilita􀆟on, restora􀆟on, and sustainable land
management. Many of the EWT’s programmes are involved in habitat conservation, but two are dedicated to protecting specific habitats.

COLLABORATING FOR CONSERVATION
An effective vehicle for conserving habitats is the formal protection of land through Biodiversity Stewardship. We work with private and community landowners to legally declare their land as protected or help them to manage it sustainably and without damage to sensitive species and ecosystems.
The EWT was instrumental in the development of Biodiversity Stewardship, having facilitated the workshops which led to its establishment, and subsequently, the EWT has declared 185 properties (over 139,000 ha) as protected areas in the last
ten years and is currently in the process of securing a further 130,000 hectares for threatened species conservation across South Africa. This includes proper􀆟es in one of the region’s most important centres of endemism: the Soutpansberg Mountain Range. Easily recognized for our work to safeguard charisma􀆟c species like the Wild Dog and Cheetah, the EWT also played a key role in preventing the extinction of the Brenton Blue Butterfly by establishing a dedicated reserve for this endemic insect.  Other critical habitats have been protected to prevent the extinction of many smaller, lesser-known species, including rep􀆟les, amphibians, butterflies, golden moles, and threatened plants.

CARBON FOR CONSERVATION
After establishing the feasibility of carbon trading in South Africa’s grasslands and recognizing the potential benefits for farmers and grassland and wetland management, the EWT the EWT initiated the first carbon offsetting contracts with private landowners in South Africa, in the Drakensberg.
When landowners agree to conserve and manage their land to allow for the verifiable sequestration of carbon in the soil, the carbon can be converted into carbon credits. Liable ensures, usually big carbon emitters, can purchase up to 10% of their carbon as carbon credits to reduce their tax liability in South Africa.

People need nature to survive – it provides important resources we depend on. We must live in harmony
with nature to thrive in healthy ecosystems that will support us and future genera􀆟ons, our wildlife, and
maintain our rich natural and cultural heritage. Through two of its programmes, the EWT implements
innovative strategies that incorporate the needs of people and the environment to ensure that people
benefit from the more sustainable use of natural resources.
BENEFITTING PEOPLE
CAPACITY FOR CONSERVATION
Working across diverse landscapes such as wetlands,
grasslands, river catchments, savannahs, and mountains, the EWT has embraced the need to support the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people who depend on their local environment, from developing sustainable livelihoods as alternatives to environmentally destructive practices in communities from KwaZulu-Natal to Limpopo, Zambia, and as far as Uganda, to pioneering the implementation of Population, Health and Environment in communities in southern and East Africa to support sustainable communities and empower women. The EWT
promotes and implements the education of school
learners and builds capacity for conservation and
ecotourism in communities across our project areas.

BIODIVERSITY AND BUSINESS
Recognizing the importance of biodiversity to business, the EWT established the National Biodiversity and Business Network (NBBN) in 2013 to work with innovative businesses to identify and manage the risks and opportunities resulting from their interactions with the natural world. Through its Biodiversity Disclosure Project, the NBBN helps companies to understand, measure, and disclose their biodiversity impacts and policies. The NBBN introduced the world’s first standardized accounting
framework, the Biological Diversity Protocol (BDP), which measures a business’ impact on biodiversity and identifies areas of improvement over time.  The EWT’s targeted conservation work has national and global impacts and our achievements contribute to multiple conservation-related frameworks. These include South Africa’s 2nd National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2015–2025), and the National Biodiversity Assessment which assess the status of, and identify the biodiversity and ecosystem
management priori􀆟es as well as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. 

Arguably, the EWT’s most important global impact is our work toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed by the United Nations. The SDGs are a universal set of goals, targets, and indicators that UN member states should use to frame their agendas and political policies. Ambitious by nature, they are a government-led endeavor that serves to coordinate actions by United Nations agencies, businesses, non-governmental groups, and any other entities working on specific goals. These are
the goals that the EWT contributes to.

CETI is a nonprofit org applying advanced machine learning and gentle robotics to listen to and translate whale communication. 

Founded in 2020 as a TED Audacious Project, the organization’s science team is made up of the world's leading artificial intelligence and natural language processing experts, marine biologists, cryptographers, linguists, roboticists and underwater acousticians. CETI’s research is taking place off of the island of Dominica in the Caribbean.

In the late 1960s, scientists, including Dr. Roger Payne, a principal advisor of CETI, discovered that whales sing to one another. His recordings, Songs of the Humpback Whale, sparked the “Save the Whales” movement, one of the most successful conservation initiatives in history. The campaign eventually led to the Marine Mammal Protection Act that marked the end of large-scale whaling and saved several whale populations from extinction. 

All this by just hearing the sounds of whales. Imagine what would happen if we could understand them?

WHY WHALES 
Sperm whales specifically share traits strikingly similar to humans. They live in matriarchal and multicultural societies and share dialects and strong multigenerational family bonds. Sperm whales have the largest brains of any species and have higher-level functions such as conscious thought and future planning, as well as speech and feelings of compassion, love, suffering and intuition. Their vocalizations, among the loudest animal sounds on the planet, have a Morse code-like structure that shares the hallmarks of a highly-evolved language. Our understanding of these animals and their dialects is still in its infancy. Only in the last fifteen years have we begun to learn how some of their vocalizations are used for communication.  
WHAT CETI IS DOING
CETI is:
-Developing non-invasive robotics to listen to a population of whales in the Caribbean and put their sounds into context.
-Deploying a “Core Whale Listening System,” an innovative hydrophone array, underwater robotic gliders, custom bioinspired whale tags and other technology to gently study the whales.
-Building on substantial data on the whales’ sounds, social lives, and behavior already obtained by the Dominica Sperm Whale Project. 
-Creating a bespoke, big-data pipeline to examine the recorded data and decode it using advanced machine learning, natural language processing and data science.
-Publishing a series of academic papers beginning with the CETI roadmap.
-Collaborating with the National Geographic Society, including their Exploration Technology Lab, and amplifying the project across National Geographic’s storytelling and education channels.
-Implementing community-based programs like the Dominica Marine Conservation Fellowship, a community-based 10-month multi- module training program for young Dominicans interested in marine science, that was developed in partnership with National Geographic.
-Launching various communications projects to tell CETI’s story including a public interface for the citizen science community, resources for educators and children and arts programs.

IMPACT
Now, for the first time in history, it’s possible to use artificial intelligence to identify and interpret deep structure within animal communication. Using these technologies, CETI is building on the legacy of the “Save the Whales” movement with the goal of having an impact by contributing the following:
Interspecies Communication - A new data set of unprecedented size to the rapidly expanding field of interspecies communication and a roadmap of how humans could translate the communication of any other species
Marine Biology - A substantive contribution to the field of whale research within marine biology that opens gateways for future research initiatives. 
Policy - New information about whales that can bolster policy efforts to protect marine mammals and ocean habitats. Policy advances in this area are crucial as six out of the 13 “great” whale species (the largest whales) are still endangered (World Wildlife Federation). To ensure impact in this area, CETI plans to build out policy campaigns and initiatives. 
Perspective - It is widely endorsed that connectivity with nature can improve mental health. By sharing its journey and findings with the public, CETI hopes to contribute to a feeling of increased wonder and connectedness to whales and the ocean that can inspire action. CETI will build out arts and childrens’ initiatives in support of this impact goal.
Conservation - CETI’s first phase of research is taking place in Dominica in the Caribbean, a region that is one of the world’s greatest centers of diversity. By carrying out its research in partnership with local stakeholders, CETI hopes to contribute to regionally-led research and conservation efforts.

HOW CETI IS SUPPORTING DOMINICA
-CETI’s capacity-building initiative, Dominica Marine Conservation Fellowship is a 10-month, nine module training program for young Dominicans interested in marine science) in partnership with National Geographic.  The program has three 2022/2023 fellows and partnerships with the Dominica National Youth Council, Dominica State College and Dominica’s Ministry of Education. The program’s curriculum (co-created with National Geographic) includes modules on marine science, scientific research/techniques, water and vessel skills and storytelling and leadership among other topics.
-All research and findings by CETI in Dominica are all open-source and will be available for Dominica. The organization’s sailing research vessel (CETI-1), a Rigid Inflatable Boat (CETI-2) and Dominican made boat (CETI-3) are in operation in Dominican waters; these boats along with other CETI equipment will be donated to the local entity at the completion of the project.
-A temporary field station has been established in Dominica and has the capacity to host 10-12 researchers, fellows and students. In the long-term, CETI plans to build a permanent field station in Dominica 
-In 2023, CETI will continue local engagement and presentations with primary and secondary schools, development of video content for use in classrooms, collaborations with local artists and collaborations with local stakeholders such as marine and dive operators, civil society organizations and schools.
