G-DiNC 2026 is a global forum dedicated to advancing the ethical and impactful use of drones and sensing technologies for biodiversity conservation and climate action. Hosted in Nairobi, Kenya—on the occasion of World Wildlife Day—the symposium convenes conservationists, researchers, technologists, regulators, and youth leaders to share cutting-edge innovations across diverse ecosystems, from oceans to forests.


The program features technical sessions, real-world drone demonstrations, STEM-driven competitions, and the official research dissemination exchange for the WildDrone project. By fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and cross-sector engagement, G-DiNC champions inclusive, data-driven solutions to some of the world’s most urgent conservation challenges.
