Early Forest Fire Detection
Democratize open and low-tech solutions for fighting wildfires, for the benefit of the ecosystems and the citizens.
Projects
Real tools, built with and for the people on the front lines of conservation — each project pairs open-source AI with the teams protecting wildlife and wild places.
Built in the open — and open to collaboration
Every project here is open source, developed hand-in-hand with conservation partners. If our work fits a challenge you're facing, or you'd like to build something together, we'd love to hear from you.

Wild Salmon Migration Monitoring
The project monitors wild salmon migration to ensure the number passing through meets state regulations, addressing threats from human activities like fisheries and dams.
Forest Elephants Passive Acoustic Monitoring
Conservation efforts struggle to monitor forest elephants in dense rainforests, with acoustic monitoring providing a promising solution via accurate, user-friendly detection systems that aid in population monitoring and anti-poaching efforts while mitigating human-elephant conflicts.
Monitoring Smolt Salmon Migration with Sonar
An innovative use of sonar imagery to monitor and analyze the migration patterns of smolt salmon as they journey from freshwater to the ocean
Wadden Sea Seal Monitoring
Automated seal population monitoring system using AI to count, classify, and identify individual seals from aerial imagery in the Wadden Sea.
Biowatch: Camera Trap Data, Visualized
A free, open-source desktop application for visualizing camera trap data to support conservation efforts.
Snow Leopard Monitoring
Non-invasive snow leopard monitoring using computer vision analysis of camera trap photos to identify individual animals.
Trout Identification
Non-invasive technology for monitoring trout populations using computer vision to accurately identify individual fish.
Bird Flu Monitoring
Utilize drones for precise monitoring of breeding seabird colonies by detection of live and dead adults and chicks to determine survival and reproduction and asses the impact of avian influenza.
Tropical Bat Call Detection and Classification
Transforming bat population monitoring in Cambodia through advanced bio-acoustic analysis driven by Machine Learning algorithms.
Bear Identification
Noninvasive technologies to identify and monitor bears, facilitating their conservation.
Bear Deterrence in the Carpathians
