Why Is AI Species Identification Important?
Wildlife researchers and nature lovers are collecting more data than ever. Camera traps, drones, and recorders take millions of pictures and hours of sound. Sorting all this by hand would take years. AI changes that.
Key Benefits:
- Saves time: AI can scan millions of images in days or weeks.
- Finds more animals: Even rare or hidden species can be spotted.
- Works everywhere: From jungles to deserts, AI can help.
