From 17th-century Boston Common to 21st-century large-landscape initiatives, innovators have tackled complex land, water, and biodiversity challenges. Addressing today's global conservation needs demands our best talent, technology, financial tools, and social innovation.

Innovation is characterized by five attributes: novel conception, strategic or cultural significance, measurable effectiveness, global transferability, and enduring impact for decades or centuries.

Jim Levitt directs the Program on Conservation Innovation at Harvard Forest, Harvard University, and is a fellow at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.

UC Merced student Martin Figueroa spearheaded a campus movement to reduce water use. In 2011, he organized the "UC Merced Water Battle," a month-long competition involving over 600 students across residence halls. Utilizing real-time monitoring, participants collectively cut water use by 14 percent, saving 89,000 gallons.

Figueroa is now encouraging other UC campuses to implement similar "Water Battles" to expand conservation efforts.

The 88,000-acre Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area, straddling the Idaho-Montana border, is one of the region's largest remaining wild areas. Inspired by its natural beauty, Jacob Glass produced "En Plein Air," a film documenting the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness. This grassroots group, formed in 2005, seeks federal protection for the region, with the film highlighting two painters who use their art to advocate for the mountains.

The documentary received nationwide media attention, dramatically increasing the Friends' membership. This surge of public support for wilderness designation led to endorsements from many area chambers of commerce and Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer.

From 60 feet beneath the sea, Dr. Sylvia Earle delivered a powerful wake-up call about the ocean's critical state and its necessity for human survival. This message originated from Aquarius' final mission as a research base, recorded during a live event on July 17, 2012.

The ocean is our lifeline, supplying over half our oxygen, 97% of Earth's water, and countless species. Our very existence depends on it. Watch this compelling clip featuring "Her Deepness" Sylvia Earle, a renowned ocean advocate, to understand why.
