Outdoor Connection
Connect with the Outdoors

Experience the joy of conservation by paddling, foraging, and more at events hosted by our 120+ local, Indigenous environmental partners.

Reforestation
Accelerate Reforestation

Get hands-on by contributing to open source GIS tools that monitor water and soil data to accelerate ecosystem restoration in forests, rivers, and lakes.

Conservation Data
Build for the Environment
Support community-trusted climate intelligence. Our AI model uses field sensor data to monitor biodiversity and optimize conservation decisions for our environmental partners.

Deep Dive into Climate Tech

OpenEarth Academy is developed by tech workers who care deeply about sustainability and using technical skills to empower the work of researchers, scientists, and local communities who are at the frontlines of conservation in the United States, India, Colombia, Indonesia, and Brasil.

Environmental Social Governance
Nature-based Supply Chain
How do regenerative nature practices connect to business cases?

Business goals can be met through sustainable strategies. Our academy presents case studies where collaborating with local communities to implement regenerative practices leads to generating impact, value, and positive change.

River
Reforestation and Water
Why is reforestation the key to water restoration and carbon sequestration goals?

How do you use your skills to help conserve 15 million acres of land and more? Learn how technical and environmental skills can be used to create tech tools for conservation efforts and apply them to open source projects.

Boat
Community-based Projects
What can we learn from Indigenous-led ecosystem management?

Indigenous communities have centuries of traditional knowledge on stewarding the environment. Our academy shares how our Indigenous environmental partners have managed climate resilience in the last century and how it's changing in the age of AI.

River mapping
GIS Data Visualization
Mapping data to help manage water flow through natural cycles

Data visualization tools offer powerful insights into shifting water tables by enabling early detection of drought or flood risks in vulnerable regions. Through collaborations with scientific researchers in the U.S. and the Amazon, we are developing a GIS platform that layers diverse environmental datasets (including official metrics from USGS and Brasil's Agência Nacional de Águas) into a unified spatial map and generates environmental analysis that can be used by our environmental partners.
