AI Helps Protect Taiwan's Endangered Leopard Cats NVIDIA Blog

There's no mistaking why the leopard cat of Taiwan got its name. While only about the size of domestic felines, it sports a beautiful, flower-spotted pattern on its fur. There's also no debate about why the leopard cat, the only remaining native wild cat species in Taiwan, is on the edge of extinction. Fewer than 500 of the leopard cats live in a natural habitat that overlaps with many development projects in the central regions of the island. In an otherwise rural area, the cats are often victims of roadkill due to increased traffic.
