Thousands of species of animals have been illegally traded via wildlife trafficking and over 45,000 species are threatened with extinction. Establishing protected areas of flora and fauna while utilizing real-time wildlife monitoring can detect a decline in population from trafficking and poaching to assist in conservation efforts. Predicting when trafficking typically occurs with AI is even better.

#SDG15 Reduce Deforestation from Illegal Logging

Saving the Earth with #AI #IoT & #Sustainability

Forests are home to more than 80 percent of all terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects and around 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods. Every year, over 20 million acres of forests are lost or otherwise destroyed. Detecting chainsaws and trucks can curb illegal logging in protected forests. Predicting illegal logging with AI is even better.
