When AI Meets Conservation

Synopsis

In the dense jungles of Gabon, setting up camera traps presents significant challenges. Reaching these devices requires days of trekking through humid and hazardous terrain, where the threat of malaria and encounters with wildlife loom large. Okala, a company focused on land management, is developing smart camera traps to ease this burden. These innovative devices are being tested in a forest concession near Gabon’s capital, aiming to improve wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts.
