Artificial Intelligence is no longer confined to laboratories and industrial automation—it is now helping to save the planet. In the field of wildlife conservation, AI-powered tools are being used to track endangered species, monitor habitats, and prevent poaching. Machine learning algorithms analyze images from camera traps and drones to identify animals, even in challenging environments. Real-time data collected via satellites and AI models also help conservationists predict animal movements and environmental changes. These systems are not only improving decision-making but also significantly reducing human effort and error. One of the most notable projects is the use of AI to prevent illegal poaching by identifying suspicious behavior using surveillance data. As climate change and human encroachment increase threats to biodiversity, AI provides a critical, scalable solution to support conservation efforts globally. This post explores case studies, technological tools, and the impact of AI on future conservation strategies.
