Description
This week, 2019 Hackaday prize winner and 2022 Hackaday Prize Judge, Shah Selbe is here! Shah is the founder of Conservify and Managing Director at FieldKit, and a former resident here at DesignLab. It’s amazing to see how far he’s come. With his background in engineering and conservation, Shah works with developing countries and communities to come up with Open Source solutions for their biggest environmental problems. Recently, Shah’s been living the dream! National Geographic hired him and his company, Conservify, to go on expeditions with scientists and conservationists. There they’ve been monitoring water in the Amazon Forest, watching the behaviorisms of lowland gorillas in Congo, and so much more. Throughout this episode, Shah breaks down how open source technology is a key component for environmental and wildlife conservation and how Conserverify and FieldKit are adding to these conservation efforts.
