Planet's biodiversity faces threats like habitat loss and poaching. AI technology offers hope by learning from data to monitor, identify species, study habitats, and combat illegal trade, safeguarding vital ecosystems

Smart camera traps, enhanced with AI, distinguish target animals from false triggers, conserving power and streamlining data for researchers.

Advanced Camera Traps:

Drones using AI monitor the environment, detect human activity, and notify authorities to potential poaching concerns while utilising image recognition to distinguish between animals and prospective poachers.

Drones and AI :

AI-driven predictive analysis identifies poaching hotspots, optimising resource allocation and strategic patrols based on historical poaching data and environmental factors, creating risk maps for targeted action.

Poaching Hotspot Prediction Analysis

Automated Wildlife Surveys :

AI-powered image recognition streamlines wildlife surveys, automating the analysis of camera trap and drone data, saving time and ensuring accuracy. It's equally useful in marine settings, identifying fish species and estimating populations from underwater videos.

AI & Acoustic Surveillance: 

AI is utilised to analyse audio recordings from nature. Trained algorithms identify species' unique vocalisations, aiding in population monitoring and ecosystem health assessment

AI offers endless possibilities in wildlife conservation. It transforms how we protect endangered species and their habitats, providing an unprecedented chance to safeguard our planet's biodiversity
