Join us on Better Worlds Ocean as we welcome Stephanie O'Donnell from Wild Labs, a community connecting people working with conservation technology at all levels. Stephanie shares the story of how Wild Labs got started in 2015 as a collaboration between world's biggest conservation NGOs and how their mission has evolved to focus on connecting the conservation community with other sectors and communities to find solutions for global challenges. Listen in as Stephanie also shares her own experience of being a wildlife ecologist and how the realization that conservationist had limited access to the technology that consumers had led to her involvement in Wild Labs.
In this episode, Stephanie O'Donnell talks about the shift in roles that Wild Labs began to take on in 2015 to become a neutral actor in the community. We explore the importance of community building and how it is essential in scaling solutions for climate change, ocean issues, and other natural world issues. Stephanie shares how Wild Labs has been led by people, not organizations, and how it is all about building relationships and trusting one another. Lastly, we discuss how collaboration and relationships are formed over multiple interactions in different forms and different spaces.
Discover how Wild Labs has created a powerful collaborative force by providing an involving environment for conservation tech users and developers. We discuss Wild Labs' State of the Conservation Tech Field report that surveys the different technology areas and highlights what is working, what isn't, and what is needed. Wild Labs has evolved from a collaboration between conservation organizations to a neutral actor in the community, providing a pathway into deep partnerships and innovative opportunities. Lastly, we learn about the surprising use of peanut butter on manta rays. Don't miss this insightful conversation with Stephanie O'Donnell!
