While I'm not aware of any that explicitly focus on conservation, there are established ways to get involved as a business. I'm in the sensor-networking space and spend a lot time following this domain. What follows is just general advice in leu of respoding with 'I want to know too' to your post. First, (and USA-specific) check the RFQs from various government organizations. The process can be foreboding and favors established companies - but a real need (and money) exists for those that follow this path. Secondly, check with local universities to see what research is currently underway or planned. Lastly, profit models really only exist in parallel with regulation. Sadly, unless corporations/landowners are chasing tax breaks or avoiding fines, you won't see people flocking to buy technology for auditing water/air/soil quality. Edit - Also Agriculture is a profitiable conduit for developing conservation tech. (Water conservation , animal tracking, soil quality, etc are all in demand)
