$10 Million

Prize Purse

The $10M XPRIZE Rainforest is a five-year competition to enhance our
understanding of the rainforest ecosystem.

Overview



MEET THE TEAMS






Understanding Rainforests for

Impact

The XPRIZE Rainforest will accelerate the innovation of autonomous technologies
needed for biodiversity assessment and will enhance our understanding of
rainforest ecosystems by using rapid data integration to provide new wisdom
about the forest as well as inspire new investment and exploration. The XPRIZE
Rainforest will reveal the true potential of the standing forest, accelerating
the development of new, just, and sustainable bioeconomies.

> The XPRIZE Rainforest will revolutionize our understanding of the planet’s
> most diverse and complex ecosystems, rapidly and remotely quantifying their
> intrinsic value in unprecedented detail, in a time that has never been more
> urgent for conservation.

The Grand Challenge

Rainforests cover less than 10% of the earth's land surface, but they house
approximately 50 million inhabitants and over 50% of the planet's biodiversity.
Although they are the most biodiverse ecosystems, there is a limited knowledge
of everything that lives in these iconic environments. The value of the standing
trees are not fully understood and our ability to assess this value is
restricted because the rainforest environment is dense, vast, and complex.

How to Win

The winning team will develop novel technologies to rapidly and comprehensively
survey rainforest biodiversity and use that data to improve our understanding of
this complex ecosystem.
