its weekend live 6 dominated hoffman. heim hive, 9 beat mines. both of them defeated one young lin. there's the result in oxford halls for the b darmstadt, glovebox drew with breyman. looking ahead to sunday, fryeburg faced clone. whoever cruising lock horns with frankfurt and byron take on, just discard your up to date dw news, mariana evans, dean from me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching the the monumental structures of the stone age, a milestones in the history of mankind. some of its greatest meetings, megabytes are monumental stone arrangements that people are arrested long before the pyramid technical and logistical feat that simple as the impossible, interesting bodies here the stones tell the story of
10:16 pm
a powerful resolution. what exactly happened as a 10000 years ago is shina nice to me in the months left by our ancestors, the secrets of the stone age sauce december 22nd on the w and the we are living in an area of mass extinction, one unmatched, and the last 6 to 6000000 years since the dinosaurs were wiped out over a quarter of all mammals species and one in a broad species on the brink. but can i help save them today on shift? it is not only natural, these losses and climate change, the threat of wildlife po chose, for example, kill over $20000.00 african elephants every year ranges and national parks have been struggling to prevent the practice. but that's non profit organizations. heck,
10:17 pm
the planet has develop in a camera system to detect poachers and sound the alarm in real time. and a trick, a warning view, as might find some of the following imagery distressing. african ellison populations have fallen drastically in the last century. one major cause poachers, they want their ivory to stuff them, the nonprofit organization, heck the planet as found a way to modify their existing camera trips these uh, these cameras, we call them the dump cameras. we, we make them smarter, so we modified, i'm a little so um, so that they are unable to communicate with a box that we created. we manufacture these um and make them able to communicate and send the photos wirelessly. and we analyze these photos using ai. so we have a machine learning algorithm on there analyzes the photo and then we immediately know what's on the photo. if it's a human arts and allison's, if
10:18 pm
a person has detected an alert, sent to ranger's immediately this way, they can react quickly to potential poachers, which wasn't possible before these range are units. oftentimes they just find an edison's carcass. uh and, you know, then then the poachers are already gone like maybe one week or 2 weeks ago. and they don't have any information to go from. because it, you know, they don't know where they came in or where they went out. because it's such a huge area, the, the smart devices make it much more likely to catch in traders and real time they work via satellite and don't need why fi countries like come on. sam b, as in bob way had already implemented the smart camera trends. for the endangered african elephants and those who protect them, the technology could mean the difference between life and death. in

india, amazons, and killed a different dangers to around 20 of them. i ship and killed by trains every year. that's why and a i warning system is being installed a long railroad tracks. sense of identifying operations on the ground caused by elephants and sent a warning signals to prevent collisions. it's undoubtedly an issue, but one was by the threat of global warming. 2023 was characterized by devastating fires around the world. greece, spain, hawaii, canada. in australia. hey i, technology is now being used to help protect animals like the kangaroo and the koala. from the effects of bush fires. a koala is on the move under the cover of night, just like these wallabies, the kangaroos, smaller cousins for australian wildlife conservation. these images are a small victory. using camera traps,
10:20 pm
they are trying to find out how well different animal species are recovering from bush fires. so the camera takes the animals by a combination of movement and hate from the animals. so as the animal looks past, the camera usually event with the bite spacing is if it gets triggered and takes 5 quick photos of the animal as it comes to pass to get on the air. in greenville researches in the conic blue mountains, west of sydney. the area is a tourist draw, but is also prone to bush fires. that's why it was included in w w. f squarely is large scale camera sensor project i, as on recovery of about 1100 camera traps were installed all over the country, especially in areas damaged by the bush fires of 20192020. the cameras generate millions of photos helps researchers analyze the data. ready
10:21 pm
the artificial intelligence is actually enabling them to sort through these images much more, much more rapidly. so it's basically improving their efficiency so they can go out and do you know, the work of the work that they need to do to manage that of species recovery, for instance, after collecting the photos from the cameras, researchers upload them to an a model called wildlife insights the google powered platform has a database of over 35000000 images and is being used by wildlife organizations all over the world. detects what kind of animal is seen within an image and labels that accordingly helping research move along more quickly. ready that we find ourselves in this point in time where climate change is is meaning we're having more frequent fires, not just in australia, but across the entirety of the world. so projects like eyes on the cover that
10:22 pm
developed technology that can help us to assess impacts more rapidly just absolutely crucial for understanding future fire events in australia and across the world. while the blue mountains looked lushin green, now it is just a matter of time before the bush fires return and the animals suffer. the system won't save the animals in the event of this aspect, but knowing where they live and how many they are is extremely important for conservation. but how do the databases work? we asked them to explain it for us. it's as easy as drag and drop, or researchers upload photos to one's life insights within seconds, image recognition, i identify as the animal. so when a research or a biologist uploads their camera trap data to the wildlife insights platform in our
10:23 pm
artificial intelligence model looks at the images and based upon what we, what we shown it before and makes, it predicts on what it thinks it sees inside the image. the i matches the photos to animals that has been trying to recognize the database contains entries for over 3000 animal species. a value of one means absolute certainty. so 0.99, just from this image of an elephant, the trunk is very close. indeed. va isn't always that confident. for example, when distinguishing a leopard from a judge, you are on some platforms the i can even recognize individual anonymous sharks, for example, of unique patterns on their skin, which allows them to be identified algorithms, then, much to patterns like facial recognition software. the wireless can be clearly
10:24 pm
distinguished by their tail fins, coloring researchers to learn more about their movements, backs and turn can lead to better conservation for the marine jobs. but sometimes pictures alone, the enough waves, for example, rarely come to the surface. that's why scientists also use sounds to find out more about them. sounds like this. what do you hear a, uh, the cause of the various ways of speech she is recorded in the alaska sound samples like these collect and worldwide the problem. microphones, folding victim to interference, but with the use of a i, we so it says that able to filter at the end of here is out and see are they called and our field is mostly an efficiency thing. if you apply a i, it kind of figures out the easy decisions for you, and then it lets your expert look at the areas where they eyes and so sure. and it
10:25 pm
allows the experts do with the past the validate. and the a, i really takes a lot of them like brute force out of that. so we have estimated that it saves as much as like 96 percent of our time. the sounds can even be assigned to individual way of specie is sped. why is this important? well, some specie is like this right away, and here, critically and danger, we found a call like just kind of a cryptic call. we didn't know who it belonged to, but we thought it might be a essentially right, we'll call. we're able to search our entire it is we would never been able to do that without a i, and for a population of 30, you know, every data point counts because they're super rare. you really don't expect to find them. so having, having tools allow you to call these huge datasets we've noticed on terms, is essential for populations like that. but it's not just the ocean designs that are threatened with extinction. insights in particular addressed european populations are declining sharply, but a i can help you too,
10:26 pm
by showing us what these really need to try to design their own garden. it would look like this. at least according to alexandra daisy ginsburg, the garden in front of berlin's natural history museum is her art project. as an algorithm, as chosen which plans are to grow here? every time we run the algorithm to create a new prompting scheme, the algorithm is optimizing the tom thing choices and arrangements to have the most diverse group on the 19th species possible. so these was most and many more. following the algorithms that certifications, ginsburg entertain, planted 7000 plants here in the heart of berlin. the project is called pollinate, or pass maker to develop the algorithm, ginsburg and her team research the exact needs of local pollinators. the algorithm
10:27 pm
then generated a planting schematic with $150.00 plant species even calculates how the garden will change throughout the year. the, the algorithm chooses plots that are appropriate for each location, set the soil conditions, sunshine, so on. and then it arranges, it takes a subset to create unique schemes every time. i'm then arranging them in ways that see different charging style up to my business as a whole. different insect pollinators locate their food in different ways. some insects, such as bees memorize the locations of flowers and developed efficient flight routes to visit thousands a day that i will look move on to the algorithm, anticipates the pollinators flight path. so we'll see, that's what the planting pattern is based on the data for the men special olga when
10:28 pm
the voice ellis is above, it looks unusual to the human eye, but it's designed around the weight and sex moves around the garden in the garden just i don't answer, then you can use the algorithm yourself to calculate a plan for an insect friendly garden, free of charge. the web based tool is optimized for your opinion, wildlife, but models for other regions could soon follow hey, i can go through huge amounts of data very quickly, helping us understand local greenery and even large and complex eco systems. this new technology has become an integral part of conservation. that's all for me. take care to x time by the
