IBM & WWF-Germany Develop AI to Protect Keystone Species
Supraja
IBM and WWF-Germany are collaborating to develop an AI solution aimed at supporting the conservation of keystone species, starting with the critically endangered African forest elephant.
The solution will utilize IBM's AI-powered visual inspection technology to enhance the tracking and identification of individual elephants from camera trap photos.
The conservation efforts supported by this AI solution are expected to increase carbon storage in forest habitats, highlighting the ecological importance of African forest elephants.
The African forest elephant population has decreased by over 80% due to habitat loss and poaching, making this conservation initiative crucial.
This collaboration aligns IBM's sustainability and technology expertise with WWF's conservation efforts, aiming to create a more sustainable future through innovative solutions.
