In the lead-up to the IUCN World Conservation Congress, I published an article in Entrepreneur Magazine featuring the entrepreneurs and leaders changing the way we protect nature: “Planet Pioneers: Nature‑Positive Entrepreneurs are Heading to Abu Dhabi’s IUCN World Conservation Congress.”

The article spotlights visionary businesses and initiatives – including Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, Ocean-Revive, NatureMetrics, Savimbo, EarthAcre, Blue Forest, Nabat, Kelp Blue, Clean Rivers, The Waste Lab, Palmade Biodegradable Products, Sway and others – who are using tech, finance, and creativity to restore ecosystems and transform industries for a nature-positive future.

A few things I explore:

  • How startups are innovating to restore ecosystems, reduce pollution, and enable conservation tech
  • The scaling potential of nature‑based business models, especially in the Middle East
  • What the upcoming IUCN Congress in Abu Dhabi might catalyze for partnerships and innovation
