AI Tools Accelerate Animal Species Identification and Biodiversity Monitoring

AI tools like convolutional neural networks can identify animal species from audio recordings, accelerating biodiversity monitoring.

Platforms developed by groups like Conservation AI can automatically analyze camera trap images to detect endangered species.

AI can process thousands of images an hour to help protect vulnerable species from threats like poaching.

AI models can reconstruct historical biodiversity changes from diverse data like genetics, climate records and pollution levels.

AI is hypothesis-free and data-driven, possibly predicting biodiversity trends more accurately than before.
