it is with a lot say what grade the, we're 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 species are on the brink, but kenny, i help save them today on shift. it is not only natural, these offices and climate change that threatened wild life po, chose, for example, to over $20000.00 african ellison's every year ranges and national parks have been struggling to prevent the practice. but that's non profit organizations. heck, 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 elephant

populations have fallen drastically in the last century. one major cause poachers, they want their ivory to stuff them, the nonprofit organization, the heck the planet as found a way to modify the 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 and analyzes the photo, and then we immediately know what's on the photo if it's a human or it's, and allison's if a person is detected and 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 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 smart devices make it much more likely to catch in traders in 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 in a i warning system is being installed

a long railroad tracks. sensors identify my braces on the ground caused by elephants and sent 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 congress, smaller cousins for australian wildlife conservation of these images are a small victory using camera traps 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 walks past, the camera, usually around with a 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. us trail. he 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 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 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, the 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 artificial intelligence model looks at the images and based upon what we, what we shown it before it 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 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 distinguished by their tail fins, allowing researchers to learn more about their movements box and turn can lead to better conservation for the marine jobs.

but sometimes pictures alone the enough way, as 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 he runs out and see of that calls and i feel 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 allows the experts do with the past to validate. and that a, i really takes a lot of them like 3 fourths out of the. so we have estimated data 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 data, 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 lives. 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, 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 taunting choices and arrangements to have the most diverse group on an 18 species possible. so these were most and many more. following the algorithms, certifications, ginsburg entertain, planted 7000 plants here in the heart of berlin. the project is called pollinators, half maker, to develop the algorithm, ginsburg, and her team research the exact needs of local pollinators. the algorithm then generated a planting schematic with $150.00 plants. 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 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 develop 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 start, that's what the planting pattern is based on the data for the men special alga, legal voice. oh, it's a, it's a by, 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 regents could soon follow hey, i can go through huge amounts of data very quickly helping us understand low 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 next time by the 77 percent. african pop sounds are electrifying audiences at global music festivals . the heart of the young generation

finds its voice, its superstars keep the flame burning the why the world is captivated by african music, the 77 percent in 30 minutes on the w. i think i got stuck on a piece of bicycle on it. i guess somebody who knew, but i would just go out of the millions of people around the world can't attend school even though the un defines the human rights education for everyone. but how over in 90 minutes on d. w, the

this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across up, and he employed the scorched coast farms and destroy livestock. what is the legacy of this wide spread races, depression, today? history. we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. on the long voyage, sweetie, ocean, and mother. i'm back. we took home for a long time. they had to be humans on the journey, but now the printer says, have to come back, protect the

ocean con sedation, september dw, the because it's data be news, and these are on top stories. these really military has rescued another of the hostages taken by her mazda and be october 7th terror attacks is really official said kind for hon. o'conny, a member of israel's the aero bed. when men minority had been freed, following would they say, was a complex rescue operation. he's now recovering in hospital russia has his brain with the 2nd major wave of miss allen drone strikes and as many days official saying several people have been killed and civilian infrastructure damaged in the overnight attacks.
