An alumnus of ScienceScience wins top prize during the Women of the Future Awards.
Camille Goldstone-Henry, a Bachelor of Science graduate, Goldstone-Henry is the recipient of her 2021 Women’s Weekly Women of the Future Award to recognize her efforts to protect Australia’s most iconic species.
Master of Science (Animal and Veterinary Bioscience) graduate Camille Goldstone-Henry has been given the Women’s Weekly Women of the Future Award for founding Xylo Systems. This innovative cloud-based platform was designed to connect, track and manage global conservation projects. An expert in wildlife conservation research, her career is driven by a desire to preserve Australia’s biodiversity through linking conservation and technology to build a sustainable future.

As one of the Women of the Future winner, Camille will receive a cash prize of more than $100,000 to fund the necessary programming to bring deep technology AI learning into the Xylo Systems platform.
In Xylo, Systems Camille states: “We are losing animals every 3 to 5 minutes. The world is home to thousands of conservation groups and scientists working to protect our animals; however, they lack an easy method to connect, share information and make well-informed choices.”
We’d love to hear about Xylo Systems.
Xylo Systems is a biodiversity tech startup developing a cloud-based platform that will connect to monitor and manage conservation efforts for wildlife.
Utilizing AI, the system combines conservation data, which means we can better understand the work undertaken to reduce the duplication of projects and enable scientists to share their discoveries and develop common knowledge instantly.
We also help make conservation projects more flexible and efficient by using predictive analytics.
What do you think receiving the 2021 Women of the Future Award will mean for you and your work?
The Award itself is a significant moment of joy! It is a highly high-profile award that is a massive recognition of the work to be done to protect biodiversity and climate change generally.
The cash prize is a huge boost to get the expert tech support required to incorporate the more complicated elements that the system offers, including machine learning.
There is also a great assistance system that comes with this Award, including mentorship by the judging panel and many media and PR exposure that a young startup like mine would only think of!
My dream is I hope that this Award will encourage younger women and indigenous peoples to think about the possibility of a profession in sciences, technology, and the field of innovation.
What is an essential ability you learned through studying for your Bachelor of Science (Animal and Vet Bioscience)?
Critical inquiry and problem-solving are among the most valuable skills gained through my science degree and the degree in Animal and Vet Bioscience, which is abundantly in the area of veterinary and animal ScienceScience. To solve many of the most significant issues facing humanity today, such as climate change and loss of biodiversity, We must get to the root of the problem. And that is why critical investigation becomes crucial.
Because of my education undergrad, I was able to examine the processes within the conservation realm and analyze why the practices weren’t as efficient as they could be, which led me to form Xylo Systems.

What advice would you offer students who are considering going into animal science?
It’s a fantastic world when you study animal science. It’s a vast field of ScienceScience that I love the most! Suppose you are unsure of the area of animal science. In that case, you’d like to be working in after you graduate, or not, attending Sydney opens you up to a wide range of career options, and I’d recommend you look into all the possibilities because you do not know where it will be lead you.
If you’re enthusiastic about animals, studying animal science is the right path. Sydney has a number of the most renowned experts. There’s also some genuinely groundbreaking work occurring in animal research in Australia as well.
What’s been your favorite part of the Taronga experience?
In addition to going to the zoo frequently, The best part about being part of Taronga is their team of inspiring individuals. They have the best team in the industry, and they all share the same goal: making the world a better place for humans and wildlife.
Not just that, Taronga is also doing great work to encourage the development of new ideas through their accelerator for startups startup HATCH. It’s fantastic to see that they are embracing innovation in conservation because it has the potential to boost our impact on conserving species.
What’s the next step to come for Xylo Systems and yourself?
Dominance over the world! In the coming months, we’ll test the system using the most threatened species within NSW, like that of the Regent Honeyeater. A little bit…
We are developing our team and offer an excellent possibility for students to be involved in our internship program. We’re excited to announce our launch on the larger Australian market by the middle of 2022 and will launch internationally in 2023/24. Then, we’ll extend our reach to other endangered species in Australia. Get in contact for more information!
