WHERE Anguilla
Summary
Evidence is mounting of declines in wildlife across the globe. We critically lack data on ‘the little things that run the world’ - insects. We will use innovative technologies to monitor insects with automated sensors, deep learning, bioacoustics and computer vision. Complementary citizen science projects will collect wildlife observations to train artificial intelligence (AI) models. With Anguilla Natural Trust we will deploy four automated camera systems across Anguilla and measure outcomes from restoration projects targeted at globally important species.
Biodiversity monitoring efforts aimed at identifying the migration patterns of Endangered sea turtles highlight the urgent need for global conservation.
