Ecosystems and Natural Resources

AI is emerging as a powerful ally in protecting nature’s balance. By analyzing satellite imagery, acoustic recordings, and sensor data, AI can monitor forests, rivers, and oceans in real time—detecting illegal logging, tracking wildlife movements, and identifying signs of ecosystem stress before they escalate.

In biodiversity conservation, AI-powered tools recognize animal calls or camera-trap images, helping scientists map species populations more efficiently. For natural resource management, AI optimizes water use, prevents overfishing, and ensures sustainable land practices.

The result? Smarter stewardship of our planet’s ecosystems—where technology helps us see the invisible patterns of nature and act before it’s too late.
