"Lessons from the Kai Kung Leng Wildfire: A Story of Resilience and Innovation" On January 11, 2025, the coldest day of the year, a wildfire erupted in Kai Kung Leng, challenging expectations and igniting a story of courage and technology. From groundbreaking thermal imaging cameras that detected the fire to the heroic efforts of volunteers safeguarding 170 animals at the Big Tree Animal Sanctuary, this incident highlighted the power of collaboration, innovation, and human compassion. Discover how cutting-edge technology and unwavering dedication worked hand in hand to protect lives and nature during this extraordinary event. #wildfire #innovation #climateresilience

In 2024, Robotics Cats achieved remarkable milestones in wildfire detection and environmental sustainability. 🔥 Through strategic partnerships like Fire Foresight in the global XPRIZE Wildfire competition, we advanced AI-driven solutions for wildfire detection and response. 🌴 Recognized as an UpLink - World Economic Forum Top Innovator, we gained global acclaim for our nature-focused innovations. 🚀 Participation in programs like the Silverstrand Capital Biodiversity Accelerator+ and FIRE-RES Open Innovation Challenge showcased our thought leadership and strengthened collaborations. 🌏 As we expand "step-by-step, market-by-market," Robotics Cats remains committed to building a safer, greener future through innovation and strategic partnerships. We wish everyone a joyful holiday season~ #wildfire #biodiversity #startup #collaboration

Congratulations to our partner, Indicium Dynamics, for collaborating with Goldwind Australia and Sustainable Timber Tasmania to deploy the Fire Foresight Solution. The AI-powered system enhances early bushfire detection, protecting Tasmania’s communities, landscapes, and critical infrastructure. A remarkable achievement in safeguarding the environment! #FireForesight #machinevision #bushfire #wildfire

We visited our conservation partner's farm this week. We were exploring how AI and IoT technologies can help farm and protect wildlife better. Regenerative farming is an agricultural approach that aims to restore ecosystem health while producing food sustainably. It employs practices like minimal soil disturbance, crop diversity, reduced chemical inputs, and holistic grazing management. This method offers significant environmental benefits, including improved soil health, increased water retention, and reduced erosion. Regenerative farming contributes to cooling the Earth by sequestering carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving albedo through healthier vegetation. We are keen to deploy cameras and sensors to monitor and measure the benefits of regenerative farming. To measure what matters - temperature, moisture, and other key factors - we need some big brains to move faster!

🌐 Last week the CISL Network held an event in Hong Kong: Beyond ESG - Leading the Transition to Competitive Sustainability in Asia. Keynotes were given by CISL’s CEO, Lindsay Hooper and Jie Zhou, CISL’s Head of International Engagement, Accelerator and Canopy (CISL) . Local experts shared their views in two panel discussions: Katy Yung, CEO Sustainable Finance Initiative  Olivia To, Senior Vice President, InvestHK  Dr. William Yu, 世界綠色組織 (World Green Organisation)  Alexander Bent, Managing Partner at Undivided Ventures  Tristan Ace, Chief Programme Officer at AVPN  Vriko Yu, Co-Founder & CEO of Archireef  Andre Cheung, CEO of Robotics Cats Isaac Ng, Head of Investment, MTR Lab Company Limited  Dr. Angus Yip, Certified ESG Planner CEP®, Founding Chairman, International Chamber of Sustainable Development 🍃 While there is growing interest in "nature-positive," the harsh reality is that most commercial activity is deeply nature-negative. This is a systemic problem that requires fundamental transformation. Many businesses recognise the costs and risks of inaction and see the opportunities that could be unlocked. But markets punish them for acting voluntarily and they are competitively undermined by others who continue to profit from unsustainable practices. It's clear that we can no longer rely on voluntary action to drive change. 🔀 The leadership agenda for business must shift from setting targets, disclosing and focusing on individual company change to driving a "whole of economy" transition. This requires a fundamental shift in mindset, from trying to put "sustainability thinking" into business to putting "business thinking" into sustainability. Innovation is the lifeblood of any organisation. But in today's complex world, traditional, siloed approaches to innovation are no longer sufficient. We need a new paradigm: system innovation. Here's why: 🏃 Incremental change is too slow: The challenges we face demand bold, transformative action. We can't afford to tinker around the edges anymore. 📦 Siloed thinking leads to unintended consequences: focusing on individual gains and market-driven outcomes can create unintended consequences and worsen existing problems. 🕸️ We need to understand the complex web of relationships between different systems and leverage innovation to catalyse positive change. Jie shared a metaphor: “Imagine a system innovation approach as acupuncture: instead of treating individual symptoms, we stimulate the body's natural healing abilities through key leverage points. This holistic approach leads to system-level transformation, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Thank you to the International Chamber of Sustainable Development and World Green Organisation for their support. Our new course, Sustainability Innovation Strategy for Businesses and Entrepreneurs, is launching now: https://lnkd.in/gV2RaTda

🇪🇺 FIRE-RES is a four-year EU-funded project (2021-2025) aimed at combating extreme wildfires through 11 Living Labs and 34 innovations focused on prevention and community resilience. 🌲 The FIRE-RES Open Innovation Challenge invites innovators to enhance wildfire management. The European Forest Institute (EFI) supports this initiative, alongside the EFI Bioregions Facility, which promotes sustainable forestry practices. 🔥 Robotics Cats participated in the EFI Bioregions Facility's Forestry Speed Dating webinar event on November 20, 2024, showcasing its AI wildfire detection software and fostering collaboration with industry leaders. #forestry #wildfire #innovation #Europe

Nature start-up ecosystem Credits to Allison Voss. Follow her for more insights on nature & sustainability. Original post: __________ Two weeks ago, the World Economic Forum launched a report on "Investing in Natural Capital" highlighting the ways in which innovation plays a key role in unlocking more capital for nature. Here are some of the startups selected by UpLink - World Economic Forum and 1t.org, whose innovations are making it easier for financing to flow to nature - from the way ecological evidence is collected to the way nature is being "uplifted" by actions taken at a local level. This list is not exhaustive and meant to give a snapshot of the nature innovation space and highlighting recent UpLink Top Innovators. ➡ You can find the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dm-dcqtE NatureMetrics Mozaic Earth Treeswift Pivotal Future Pano AI Gentian Robotics Cats 3Bee Nala Earth Soilytix Bioverse umgrauemeio Boomitra Wilder Climate Solutions Carbon Counts Treeapp Open Forest Protocol Earthly Terrasos Belterra Agroforestry Terraformation Zulu Ecosystems InvestConservation®SankalpTaru Foundation Cultivo Land Life Ecoflora Cares AirForestry Groasis Ecological Water Saving Technology (Groasis B.V.)
