- The Climate Change AI Virtual Summer School 2026!
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the field to analyse information collected by wildlife conservationists, from camera traps and satellite images to audio recordings. AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings - hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data. The AI For Conservation group is intended to unite and inspire all WILDLABS community members—whether already involved in AI for conservation, or not—to understand how to use and/or directly contribute to open-source research and development efforts.

- Deep Voice - A Free Online Platform for AI-Based Marine Mammal Sound Detection and Classification
Passive acoustic monitoring floods marine researchers with data that can take months to annotate by hand, and the AI models that could help have long required Python setup, GitHub repos, and complex config files. Funded by the WILDLABS Awards 2025, Deep Voice removes that barrier with a free, public web app that turns marine mammal sound detection into a simple drag-and-drop task.
