How AI is streaming the processing and use of camera trap data for conservation

Описание: Wildlife cameras, also known as camera traps, have become a crucial tool in the study of wildlife populations and their impact on conservation outcomes. They are used to assess species richness, population trends, and monitor biodiversity in protected areas, corridors, Indigenous lands, and other conservation lands. However, the manual processing of thousands of images generated by these cameras can be cumbersome and often leads to data collection challenges. To address this issue, Conservation International has partnered with Google and other partners to create Wildlife Insights, a platform that leverages the power of AI to quickly process and organize this data, making it readily available to data collectors and users. The AI model behind Wildlife Insights is described in detail, and the platform’s effectiveness is demonstrated through several case studies that highlight its potential for improving conservation outcomes for wildlife.

What is AI for Good?
We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.
More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
