#Artificialintelligence (AI) is being utilized as a #conservation tool in Gabon's Lopé National Park to combat wildlife poaching and protect endangered species. Researchers from Stirling University, in partnership with the Agence National des Parcs Nationaux du Gabon (ANPN) and supported by the European Union’s ECOFAC 6 programme, have deployed AI technology called Mbaza AI to analyze images from camera traps in the Congo Basin. These traps, triggered by motion sensors, capture hundreds of pictures daily. AI company Appsilon developed an algorithm capable of identifying over 25 species with 96% accuracy, significantly speeding up data analysis. This advancement allows conservationists to quickly respond to threats and manage conservation efforts more effectively, addressing challenges posed by illegal wildlife trade, habitat changes, and climate crises. https://lnkd.in/eVb_eMVq
