Hacking Extinction: Science, Tech, Business & Policy for Biodiversity

Biodiversity loss is accelerating — and with it, the collapse of vital ecosystems. But a new generation of scientists, technologists, artists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers is working to flip the script. From AI and green chemistry to decentralized funding, speculative law, and ecological philosophy: bold new approaches are emerging that seek not just to protect species, but to redefine our relationship with the living world.

In this forward-looking panel, we explore breakthrough ideas that aim to halt the next mass extinction — through innovation, systemic thinking, and a shift in cultural and legal consciousness. Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of ecology and imagination — and discover how we might still hack our way to a biodiverse and livable future.
