Artificial intelligence, or AI, is now being used more and more to help stop poaching and illegal fishing. It does this through new technologies and smart ways to analyze data.
-
Monitoring:
- Drones with special AI vision can watch over animals and fishing activities from the sky.
- For example, in East Africa, using these drones has cut down poaching by as much as 80%!
-
Data Analysis:
- AI programs can look at huge amounts of data from different sources, like satellite pictures and social media, to spot suspicious behavior.
- In one study, these smart machines were more than 90% accurate in guessing when poaching would happen by analyzing past data.
-
Predictive Modeling:
- AI can help predict where poaching might happen, based on things in the environment. This helps park rangers do a better job with their resources.
- With AI tools, rangers have improved their planning for patrols by 75%, so they can spend more time where it’s needed most.
