​​Our Speakers

​Heath Evans

​Wilderlands

​Join Heath Evans (Chief Marketing Officer), Nopera Whitley (Chief Technology Officer) and Cody Rees (Lead Developer) from Wilderlands to discover how they’ve developed one of the world's first voluntary biodiversity credits and launched a platform to make it easy for anyone to start protecting nature today.

​The Biological Diversity Unit (BDU) represents a 1sqm plot of permanently-protected and actively managed land in high ecological value projects across Australia.

​Wilderlands partners with leading conservation organisations to unitise the impact of their work, with each unit geotagged, independently certified, and underpinned by a proprietary methodology that leverages state conservation covenant regulations to essentially create private national parks that can be sponsored by individuals and organisations through the purchase of these credits.

​They’ll dive into the details regarding the development of the registry that houses these units and reveal some of the challenges of managing millions of biodiversity credits and the company’s aspirations to connect to other global platforms, as well as revealing their unique approach to marketing taking supporters closer to the conservation work in action than ever before.

​With experience spanning across startups, innovation, and social impact the team brings decades of experience grappling with how technology can bring humans closer to nature and hope to inspire people and partners to start protecting the planet; one square metre at a time.
