Conservation & Tech
summary
Global conservation uses concrete tools and numbers: a Sentinel camera upgrade plugs into motion camera traps, runs local EDI analysis to ID individuals, spot disease by gait in Florida panthers and stream alerts via nanosatellites in real time; computer vision and Wild Me match patterns to raise known whale sharks from 300 to 22,000 whale sharks matched, now tracking 217 species, 256,000 marked individuals and 1.32 million encounters; the Internet of Animals and Movebank deliver six billion locations and tiny tags that warn of poaching, eruptions, or animal stress while a $700 billion funding gap frames urgency.
