The workshop will be held Monday, February 16th ahead of the main International Conservation Technology Conference in Lima, Peru.

Edge AI—intelligence deployed on devices in the field instead of the cloud—is transforming wildlife monitoring and protection. From camera traps that recognize species in real time to acoustic sensors that flag poaching activity, edge computing enables rapid, autonomous conservation responses in places without reliable connectivity.

This full-day workshop will be the inaugural in-person gathering of the WILDLABS Edge Computing community and will showcase cyberinfrastructure for animal ecology from the NSF ICICLE Institute. Participants gain hands-on experience with edge AI tools, learn deployment strategies for resource-limited settings, and connect with a global network advancing this technology.

We invite attendees from the conservation tech community, including:

• Conservation technologists and practitioners using camera traps, drones, acoustic sensors, and other monitoring devices and sensors
• Animal ecology and wildlife biology researchers interested in automation
• Technology developers building conservation tools
• Protected area managers seeking cost-effective monitoring solutions
• Anyone tackling conservation challenges in remote or connectivity-limited environments
