AI-Powered Drones to Track Endangered Species
Marwell Wildlife, with the University of Southampton, is deploying AI-enabled drones to monitor endangered species, including snow leopards and Grevy’s zebras, as reported by the Northwich Guardian. The drones utilise thermal imaging to identify animals from a distance without disturbing their habitats, offering a high-tech solution to conservation.
Supporting Conservation with Advanced AI Monitoring
AI-powered drone surveillance is a non-invasive way to track and protect endangered wildlife. By gathering critical data on species, researchers can better understand and support conservation efforts globally.
Editor’s Comment: Using AI for conservation is a win-win—protecting species without disturbing them. The Pacific Islands, rich in biodiversity, could benefit from similar low-cost technology to support local ecosystems.
