How AI could help prevent the next extinction (and you can, too)

If you've been keeping up with the news recently, you may have read about the death of the last male northern white rhino. Conservationists view his death as a sign that unsustainable human activities like overpopulation and climate change are driving a new era of mass extinction on a global level. And it isn't just the rhino – flagship species like the cheetah are disappearing, and with them, the biodiversity that supports us all. Currently, there are only about 7,000 cheetahs left in the world – down from 100,000 less than a century ago. WildTrack, a nonprofit conservation group, seeks to prevent these powerful cats (among others) from landing on the extinction list – and we are proud to support them in their efforts.
