The Future is Here: Artificial Intelligence is Saving Wildlife

Strategically placed recycled cell phones are combating deforestation by sending notifications to rangers when chainsaw noises are recorded. Algorithms similar to those used by Homeland Security are being developed to provide effective routes for ranger patrols in their battle against poaching. And drones are delivering sylvatic plague vaccines to prairie dog populations in an effort to save the Black Footed Ferret, a highly endangered predator of prairie dogs, from extinction. What happens when wildlife biologists join forces with computer scientists? A new era in wildlife conservation is born!
