The Challenge
Population Collapse is Nonlinear
Intervention without modeling increases risk. Species populations don't decline gradually -- they collapse past critical thresholds. Understanding these dynamics requires simulation, not intuition.

Core Technology
AI-Powered Ecosystem Simulation
Our simulation engine models multi-variable population dynamics, habitat viability, and intervention outcomes. Test strategies before deploying them in the field.
Multi-Variable Population Modeling
Simulate population dynamics across generations using birth rates, mortality, carrying capacity, and genetic diversity variables.
Habitat Modeling
Model habitat suitability, fragmentation effects, and corridor connectivity to predict species viability under changing land-use scenarios.
Intervention Scenario Testing
Run comparative simulations across intervention methods -- translocation, habitat restoration, predator management -- to identify optimal strategies.
Risk Projection
Project extinction probability timelines under various climate and human activity scenarios using Monte Carlo simulation methods.

MODEL_ANALYSIS
Population is at a tipping point. Strategic intervention could shift trajectory toward recovery.
Knowledge
Education Platform
Conservation requires understanding. Our education programs bridge the gap between computational modeling and on-the-ground conservation action.
Open Simulation Labs
Free access to our simulation engine for researchers, students, and conservation practitioners. Run population models, test intervention hypotheses, and share results with the community.
Student Workshops
Structured workshop series teaching computational ecology, population dynamics, and AI-assisted conservation planning. Available for high school through graduate level.
Public Dashboards
Live dashboards tracking active species recovery projects. Population data, intervention progress, and ecosystem health metrics -- open and transparent.
Curriculum Modules
Ready-to-deploy educational modules integrating simulation tools into STEM curricula. Aligned with national science standards and designed for hands-on learning.

Principles
Foundation Philosophy
Intelligence applied to ecology.
Simulation before intervention.
Education as multiplier.
Systems thinking over sentiment. We model, measure, and educate -- because species recovery demands rigor, not just hope.
Accountability
Full Transparency
Trust is earned through openness. Every aspect of our operations -- finances, governance, impact metrics -- is available for public inspection.
501(c)(3) Status
Registered tax-exempt nonprofit organization. EIN available upon request. Full compliance with IRS reporting requirements.
Financial Transparency
Annual reports, IRS Form 990, and audited financial statements published openly. Every dollar traced from donation to impact.
Impact Dashboards
Public-facing dashboards showing project outcomes, simulation accuracy, species recovery metrics, and educational reach in real time.
Governance Structure
Independent Board of Directors with expertise in conservation biology, AI research, education, and nonprofit law. Advisory council of field scientists.
Take Action
Get Involved
Every contribution -- financial, intellectual, or educational -- directly powers simulation models and conservation programs that protect endangered species.
Ecosystem
Zaplit Foundation works alongside Zaplit.com -- the infrastructure platform that builds the IoT hardware and AI systems we use to power our simulations and field monitoring.
