Our Mission

Our mission is to stop the 6th mass extinction
with innovation & technology for Climate, Environment and Society.

We have 3 main objectives, to Collect, Collaborate and Conserve:

  1. To collect and annotate nature-based data using disruptive AI, ML and GIS technology. We rapidly create tangible information from data with extreme accuracy, for immediate use in conservation for Climate, Environment and Society.
  2. To collaborate with local and indigenous communities on providing valuable information from otherwise inaccessible data for viable and impactful SDG solutions. (Special focus is on SDG # 13,14,15 &17).
  3. To Conserve our Climate, Environment and Society through partnerships with individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations.

The Big Wild is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization aiming to be the fastest, most cost-efficient provider of wildlife data that rapidly speeds up access to accurate wildlife conservation data. We work as a non-competitive, collaborative network, partnering with organizations in the Travel & Tourism industry and technology for wildlife conservation community, all with the mutual goal of ending the sixth mass extinction.
