Espressif's Wildlife Protection Program
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), established in 1948 by governments and civil society organizations, is a globally trusted union for the protection of the natural world. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ was first compiled in 1964 and has since become the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species. Its strong scientific base and quantitative criteria apply to most species and all regions of the world. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is considered the most authoritative guide for evalsuating biodiversity and the extinction risk of thousands of species.
Espressif is known for its keen sense of corporate social responsibility, having long supported green / low-power technologies and having based its entire business model on open-source software and the democratization of technology. At present, we are deeply concerned about climate change, which has been the result of human actions in recent decades. Hoping to create more public awareness of this crisis, we are launching a wildlife protection program which draws on the environmental insight brought about by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. What's more, Espressif will donate the proceeds from development boards included in this wildlife protection program to the IUCN.
Blue-footed Booby
Least Concern
The blue-footed booby is a marine bird native to subtropical and tropical regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive bright blue feet, which is a sexually selected trait and a product of their diet.
ESP32-S3-BOX-3
The ESP32-S3-BOX-3 is a next-generation development tool designed for AIoT, Edge AI, and IIoT applications. It is based on the powerful ESP32-S3 SoC and features a compact and beautiful enclosure also provides rich assemblies, empowering developers to easily customize and expand its functionality. Leveraging Espressif's reliable software solutions such as ESP-BOX, ESP-SR, ESP RainMaker, and ESP Matter, the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 is capable of meeting the needs of prototyping new projects or building complex IoT systems. It strikes a perfect balance between form and function, propelling the future of development board ecology.
Clemmys Guttata
Endangered
A small, semi-aquatic turtle that inhabits the Great Lakes region of Canada and the U.S. It is confirmed to occur in a number of conservation areas, but because of vegetation dynamics and collection for pets, such protected populations are not secure in the long term.

ESP32-C3-LCDkit
ESP32-C3-LCDkit is a development board designed for wildlife protection. It's based on the ESP32-C3 and contains a main board and a sub board. The main board includes features such as a speaker, an EC11 rotary encoder, and infrared sensors, while the sub board is a 1.28-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 240x240 and an SPI interface. ESP32-C3 is highly cost-effective and offers industry leading low-power performance. It can meet the basic HMI interaction needs of users and ideal for building rotary knob screens or small-sized display screens driven by the SPI interface.
Vaquita
Critically Endangered
Vaquita, the world's rarest marine mammal, is on the verge of extinction. The plight of cetaceans—whales, dolphins, and porpoises—as a whole is exemplified by the rapid decline of the vaquita in Mexico, with about 10 individuals remaining.

ESP32-Vaquita-DSPG
ESP32-Vaquita-DSPG is Espressif’s new Alexa built-in solution, powered by ESP32 and DSP Group’s DBMD5P audio SoC. With a 2-Mic array which allows for a 360-degree pick-up, the solution provides a superior far-field voice recognition performance. The new ESP32-Vaquita-DSPG development kit is a turnkey solution for easily creating Alexa built-in connected devices that provide out-of-the-box voice enablement and AWS-IoT cloud connectivity.
Saola
Critically Endangered
Often called the Asian unicorn, little is known about the enigmatic saola since its discovery in 1992. None exist in captivity and this rarely-seen mammal is already critically endangered. Scientists have categorically documented saola in the wild on only four occasions to date.

ESP32-S2-Saola-1
ESP32-S2 is a general-purpose development board based on ESP32-S2-WROVER, ESP32-S2-WROVER-I, ESP32-S2-WROOM or ESP32-S2-WROOM-I, with 4 MB flash. Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or mount ESP32-S2-Saola-1 on a breadboard.
Kaluga
Critically Endangered
The kaluga (huso dauricus) is a large predatory sturgeon which inhabits the Amur River, in the Russian Far East. Despite being critically endangered it is still subject to commercial exploitation due to its valuable roe.
(From the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species)
ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1
The new multimedia development board ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1, based on ESP32-S2, has various features, such as an LCD screen display, touch panel control, camera image acquisition, audio playback, etc. It can be flexibly assembled and disassembled, thus fulfilling a variety of customized requirements.
Donate Now Through Espressif
According to the website of The IUCN Red List™ “more than 150,300 species have been assessed” up until today, and the current goal is to complete the assessment of 160,000 species. Achieving this goal will play an important role in biodiversity and ecological conservation. We need numerous allies in this and we count on your contribution, too. Every offer is valuable, so help us today!
More development boards will be coming soon...
