Nature Talk With Boatree

Loading player...
Join Dimitri Syrris, Founder of Baotree, as he shares the journey of building a purpose-led tech start-up rooted in nature. From the early days in community conservation in Kenya to partnering with tourism brands like Tanda Tula, Jabulani, Dulini, and African Bush Camps, and impact-driven organisations like Nourish, Koru Camps, and Grootbos Foundation, Baotree is helping reshape how we track and prove sustainability.

This session will walk you through why Baotree exists, how the platform works (including a live demo introducing PIA their Gen-AI model), and what it means for tourism operators, non-profits, and the communities they serve. This talk will show how data, when done right, can help us protect nature, support communities, and shape a more accountable tourism industry.This event provides an opportunity to network and learn more about conservation, research and community-based conservation projects in the Lowveld, South Africa and beyond. Best of all, it’s completely free. We look forward to seeing you all there!
