McGill University’s study explores the transformative potential of AI in biodiversity conservation. By analyzing complex data, AI helps bridge critical gaps in knowledge about species distributions and ecosystem health. The research also discusses practical applications, challenges, and ethical considerations for AI in conservation efforts.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping wildlife conservation by enabling scientists to monitor endangered species more efficiently. In Costa Rica and Colombia, AI-powered acoustic tools are being used to track animals like spider monkeys and jaguars, offering insights into habitat health and guiding policy decisions.
