He discusses a growing trend toward predictive policing of parks and protected areas, a shift in what conservation fundamentally is and means, struggles over conservation data, the actors pushing this digital transformation, and the standardization of conservation approaches.

Among other things, we talk about the techno-utopian thinking that undergirds precision agriculture, why technologies may be inaccurate “in the wild,” power dynamics and struggles between different actors, the inequalities that digital technologies can produce, and social movements that seek to promote more just and equitable forms of digital environmental governance within agriculture.

We explore how technology shapes the ways environmental issues are framed from the outset, how specific sustainability objectives are set, and the types of interventions and actions that are promoted. He lays out a series of questions that policy-makers, decision-makers, and the public should ask whenever digital technologies are deployed for environmental governance.
