Biologist Jenna Lawson has deployed 350 audio monitors in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula to track endangered Geoffrey’s spider monkeys. These devices collect extensive audio data, which is then analyzed using AI systems to identify monkey calls and their movements. This innovative approach is part of a larger effort to address the alarming rate of species extinction, with 28% of all plant and animal species currently at risk.
Microsoft's AI for Good Lab is developing a new hardware system called Sparrow, designed to enhance wildlife monitoring in remote areas. This solar-powered technology aims to provide continuous data transmission and is set to be tested in Colombia's jungle preserves. The goal is to create an open-source platform for researchers worldwide, ensuring that sensitive location data is protected from potential poachers.
