Fuel the Future of Conservation. Empower People. Protect the Wild.

At Limelight Rainforest, we’re not just protecting biodiversity. We’re redefining how the world understands it. Powered by state-of-the-art technology, our tools are revealing the rhythms of life in the rainforest with unmatched precision and speed. From hidden insects and cryptic species to the structure of the forest canopy, we transform data into action and people into planetary stewards.

But this work doesn't happen alone. When you join Limelight, you become part of a global community of scientists, technologists, and local leaders pushing the boundaries of what conservation can be. You support the creation of canopy mapping systems that track forest health from above, eDNA samplers that detect rare species without capture, and acoustic arrays that translate sound into biodiversity insights.

Most importantly, you help train and equip the people who live in and care for these ecosystems. That includes Indigenous experts, youth ecologists, rural communities, and the next generation of conservation scientists.

This is a movement rooted in science, driven by equity, and scaled through technology. And we need you.
