Further Reading

A library shelf

There is so much interesting info out there on the topic of climate tech and conservation tech. Plus, new items are being added all the time. I thus want to share a list of all the links and sources used for this site’s posts, for your further reading and enjoyment.

Naturally, each time a new post is added, the relevant external sources’ links will be added here too.

Note that these are sorted in no particular order other than alphabetical. Once the sheer volume of links becomes too many for a simple list, I’ll sort them into categories to make it a bit easier for you to find what you’re looking for.

Enjoy!
