Case Studies Wanted! How is AI already being used in the Ecology sector in the UK (and beyond?)

Groups

Hello Community!

I am looking for AI case studies, specifically within the UK and Ireland, of where AI is being used in ecology and nature conservation. 

I am speaking as a guest on the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management's podcast - and want to take the opportunity to highlight some of the great work already going on in the UK (and beyond).

I also welcome any of your thoughts on how AI might shape the ecology sector, either in the UK or globally. 

Thanks in advance!

Sam

Hi Sam,

I'm the Nature Tech and AI Innovation Manager at Conservation International, and we have a number of use cases of AI for different aspects of conservation (sustainable supply chains, restoration, nature finance, climate adaption, etc.). But, we work primarily across the Global South (Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific) so they aren't UK or Europe examples. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat more, if not for this podcast, just for general knowledge-sharing :)
