For instance, camera traps equipped with AI analyze movement and alert rangers to potential poaching activities, significantly improving response times.
What challenges does Peace Parks address?
Peace Parks Foundation addresses various human-made challenges affecting southern African ecosystems, including civil wars, illegal logging, poaching, and resource exploitation. These activities have led to the endangerment of species and habitat destruction. The organization focuses on restoring these ecosystems while balancing the needs of local communities.
How effective is the technology used by Peace Parks?
The technology used by Peace Parks has shown significant effectiveness in wildlife conservation. For example, in 2021, a network of nearly 200 cameras processed over 932,000 images, identifying potential threats in 4.29% of cases and sending approximately 40,000 alerts to rangers. This advancement allows for quicker responses to poaching activities, reducing the time rangers need to react from hours to under a minute.
