ICONARE is a dynamic global network fostering exchange of knowledge and expertise among conversation of natural resources by academics, practitioners and scientists from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. In addition to communicating machine learning, deep learning, leading-edge tools, technologies and scientific findings, ICONARE actively promotes best practices and effective conservation of natural resources around the world.

The team at ICONARE is working to ensure that conservation of natural resources are recognized and utilized as a fundamental component of global conservation, biodiversity and sustainable development programs, and that ecosystems restoration projects are designed and implemented in a way that provides communities with the opportunity to not only repair ecological damage, but also improve the human condition.
