The Hacks
We had five groups of projects - biodiversity, carbon & climate, deforestation, pollution & community engagement, and protected areas - and got great hacks from all of them! Check out the video of project demos from the end of the hackathon, or peruse the ignite talks that inspired these projects. Oh, and don't miss eco-geek yoga.
