Information age technology has the potential to change the game for conservation by continuously monitoring the pulse of the natural world. Whether or not it will depends on the ability of the conservation sector to build a community of practice, come together to define key technology challenges and work with a wide variety of partners to create, implement, and sustain solutions. I describe why these steps are necessary, outline the latest developments in the field and offer actionable ways forward for conservation agencies, universities, funding bodies, professional societies, and technology corporations to come together to realize the revolution that computational technologies can bring for biodiversity conservation.
信息时代的技术有潜力通过持续监测自然界的动态来改变保护工作的局面。它能否做到这一点取决于保护领域建立实践社区的能力，即凝聚起来定义关键技术挑战，并与广泛的合作伙伴共同创造、实施和维持解决方案。我阐述了为何这些步骤是必要的，概述了该领域的最新发展，并为保护机构、大学、资助机构、专业协会和科技公司提供了可行的前进方向，以便它们共同努力实现计算技术可为生物多样性保护带来的变革。
