Loss of wild species has reached a crisis level. Artificial intelligence can help, but only if Indigenous partners have secure land rights
The United Nation’s latest biodiversity report warns that one million species are headed for extinction, including 1,000 wild mammal species and 450 species of sharks and rays. Losing this much wildlife will have massive human consequences because one in five people depend on these species for food and income.
One of the first AI-based Indigenous conservation projects, undertaken by Cornell University, was co-developed with the Coral Gardeners, from Mo’orea, French Polynesia. Founded in 2017, this Indigenous group cultivates heat-resistant super corals and transplants them onto damaged parts of the reef.
With only about 2,000 members, the Tembé have found it difficult to fend off hired guns laying siege to their 2,766 square kilometers of ancestral holdings. Already 30 percent of their forests have been destroyed. There are human casualties as well. Under President Jair Bolsonaro, such Indigenous killings have skyrocketed in Brazil.
