Nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history. 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history. The Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT) is an partnership of top conservation charities / NGOs (IUCN, UN Environment Program) that have the gold standard of biodiversity datasets. IBAT then uses the datasets, mixed with the best conservation science, to help companies understand/reduce their impact on nature and they help fund conservation, it's a win-win.

Eschewing technology is not what the Luddites were initially after. At first they asked for a minimum wage, minimum labour standards and taxes on the new technology to support laid off workers [1]. This was rejected so they tried to protect their wage power by smashing up the machines.
A Luddite response to AI might be to tax the value AI created (Microsoft's profits) and use that to fund minimum wages/retraining. Not sure how that would work when the AI value is in one jurisdiction and job losses in another.
