FINDING HIDDEN LIFE WITH AI, CAMERA TRAPS AND DRONES
Deep in the secluded heart of the Peruvian Amazon, new technology is helping scientists catalogue hidden lifeforms. In the rainforests of the Yaguas National Park, AI-powered drones fly over the lush canopy, snapping pictures so precise that they can identify the trees from the air. Down on earth, scientists carefully lay camera traps – motion-activated devices designed to photograph everything that passes. Powerful AI models then analyse every image of every organism that crosses the devices.
