About the event

The event aims to connect leaders in biodiversity conservation and regeneration in technology in a unique space that will bring together key people from the public, private, academic, and community sectors. This forum will explore how technological innovation and ancestral knowledge can transform biodiversity conservation in Latin America, creating a bridge between traditional knowledge and the most advanced technological solutions.

In this context, global and regional alliances will be strengthened that will promote ecological connectivity in critical bio-corridors, such as those of the Jaguar and the Whale. These alliances will promote deeper cooperation between countries and communities, ensuring that conservation efforts are not limited to isolated geographic areas, but encompass entire regions, protecting biodiversity and the ecosystems that depend on it.

During the forum, success stories will be presented that demonstrate how the combination of advanced technology and local knowledge can be a powerful strategy for conservation. Emblematic species, such as the jaguar and the whale, will be the focus of these examples, showing their fundamental role in preserving ecosystems and strengthening the communities that protect them.

In addition, we will address new financing models that are revolutionizing the conservation landscape. We will highlight impact investment and blended financing initiatives that offer innovative solutions for biodiversity and community regeneration projects, enabling the replication of these models on a larger scale throughout the region.

The event will also launch key biocultural initiatives and promote a vision of alliance that extends throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Finally, the forum will explore how art can merge with emerging technologies to raise awareness and mobilize around conservation. Through new visual narratives and interactive experiences, it will seek to connect people with the region's biodiversity and ecosystems, creating a sense of shared responsibility and urgency for their protection.
