A new paper by the World Resources Institute stresses that Africa’s next leap in biodiversity protection depends on actionable data. Titled “AI for Nature: How AI Can Democratize and Scale Action on Nature”, it warns that data scarcity is one of the biggest barriers to conservation and artificial intelligence (AI) could bridge this gap.
AI can automate millions of field observations and improve the continent’s reporting and decision making around conservation.
Use cases for AI in conservation in Africa: Thermal AI cameras, AI ultrasonic deterrents, a Biodiversity Valuator, GIRAFFE, Wetlands Monitoring Workflow and more.
