In a significant conservation initiative, researchers are leveraging AI to identify individual African forest elephants through their unique physical traits, such as tusks and skin wrinkles. This technology, developed in partnership with IBM, aids in accurately estimating populations, essential for tailored conservation strategies and community engagement. By improving monitoring methods, AI has the potential to significantly enhance conservation efforts, particularly for endangered species in vulnerable ecosystems.
