The value of wildlife is becoming increasingly important as the years go by. It is unfortunate how much damage has been done but efforts to raise awareness and educate people about the flora and fauna gifted to us are underway.
Google’s new platform, Wildlife Insights, does just that. Combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Google Cloud, the site helps to streamline the conservation monitoring process.

Those who have camera trap images will be able to upload, collaborate, identify and analyse their data in one go. Camera traps are invaluable, given how the millions of photos and information they collect. By making these photos and information easily shareable, people everywhere will be more aware of the situation of wildlife and can make informed decisions on how to help.
Wildlife Insights gives people the tools and technology needed to help the advancement of conservation with the aim of eventually helping to recover wildlife populations all over the globe. We may still be far from this goal, but taking steps forward together is far better than taking none at all.
Will you be checking out this platform anytime soon?
