IBM and WWF-Germany are collaborating to create an AI solution for conserving the critically endangered African forest elephant. This species has seen a drastic population decline of over 80% due to habitat loss and poaching. The initiative aims to leverage AI technology to enhance tracking and identification of these elephants from camera trap images.
The project will utilize IBM's Maximo Visual Inspection software to improve the accuracy of identifying individual elephants, which is essential for effective conservation strategies. By integrating technology with conservation efforts, this collaboration seeks to support climate change mitigation and promote sustainable finance investments. The ultimate goal is to enhance the conservation of African forest elephants, which play a vital role in carbon storage within their habitats.
