In an effort to help protect endangered wildlife, Hack the Planet has released a new artificial intelligence-powered system that can help detect both poachers and animals in real-time.
The system is designed to detect suspicious activity in areas where poaching is known to occur. It can identify individuals, vehicles, and other objects that may be associated with poaching and alert game wardens to their presence. It can also detect animals in the area and provide real-time tracking information so authorities can more effectively monitor their movements.
The system uses a combination of computer vision and machine learning technology to detect and identify objects, people, and animals. Computer vision uses pattern recognition algorithms to identify objects of interest, while machine learning algorithms can be trained to recognize certain features and patterns. This allows the system to accurately detect poachers and animals even in difficult-to-monitor areas, such as dense forests or remote locations.It has
It has already been deployed in a number of countries around the world, including Kenya, South Africa, and India, and is being used to help protect endangered wildlife. Animal conservation groups have praised the system, noting that it has the potential to dramatically reduce the rate of poaching in many areas.
Hack the Planet is also working to further enhance the system’s capabilities. They are currently developing algorithms that can detect the presence of poachers at night, as well as those that can identify different species of animals. They are also looking into ways to integrate the system with other technologies, such as drones, to provide a more comprehensive view of a given area.
This innovative system is a major step forward in the fight against poaching and could play a key role in helping to protect endangered species.

Incidentally, Friday March 3 is World Wildlife Day. It is a United Nations International day to celebrate all the world's wild animals and plants and the contribution that they make to our lives and the health of the planet.
This date was chosen as it is the birthday of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, signed in 1973. In recognition of the work CITES does and the collaborative work for conservation that is going on globally, the theme for World Wildlife Day this year is 'Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation'.
