I am also commenting for future notifications - very interested to hear some responses.

While not directly related to AI, here in Canada there's quite a conversation around data sovereignty for Indigenous communities, such as OCAP (Ownership, Control, Access, Possession) which may be able to connect you with some of the big players in this part of the world. There is also a few efforts to incorporate more Indigenous knowledge systems in statistical modelling which may be of interest: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.07.556613v1.full.pdf

Happy to help out with the processing of the SAR images and building a model on top of it. 

Hi everyone,

We’ve emerged into the genomic age and it is a powerful approach to back wildlife conservation. However, sometimes it can be tricky to become familiar with technologies and the software to analyse genomic data.

I would like to present SequenceServer. It is a fantastic tool that enables you to analyse genomic data. The interface is designed to make life easy, and you don’t need lots of computational experience. Many different analysis approaches are possible and will certainly be valuable to the world of conservation.

You can try it out for free! And if you have any questions, please feel free to message me. The SequenceServer team is happy to discuss your research needs and offer support.

Let’s help protect Earth together.

Hello everyone. I run a small ecological consultancy based in the Scottish Highlands. Although I undertake a range of ecological surveys for commercial and academic clients, primarily focussing on protected species and upland habitats, I am increasingly specialising in the use of UAVs and GIS. Example current projects include UAV mapping of non-native invasive species with semi-automatic classification, high resolution aerial image acquisition of seals from UAV for census and individual recognition, identification of rare montane scrub species on inaccessible cliffs using UAV and high resolution peatland restoration monitoring.

Areas of interest centre around the use of UAVs, GIS, remote sensing, machine learning and AI, thermal imaging and wildlife telemetry but always keen to explore new advances in order to increase efficiency, effectiveness and robustness of ecological data collection for applied conservation.

I have been dipping into WildLabs for some time, but finally got round to fully registering. I look forward to being part of the community.

Hello we are Think Nature Inc. from Japan.

We, at Think Nature, are a university-launched startup that aims to transform into a nature economy where humans and nature coexist. Our mission is to evaluate and visualize the value of natural capital and contribute to Nature Positive economy.

We are happy to join this community of WILDLABS.

We had this same issue, and found that the firmware version 1.9.2 was our issue. We bumped it back to 1.9.0 and our energy consumption was back to normal. 

We record data for 7 hours a day (3.5 hour blocks), using sandisk extreme 64GB micro SD cards. We don’t use re-chargeable batteries, and the ARUs are set for 14-day periods before being collected. With the 1.9.2 firmware, for some reason they’d only record for maybe 9 days tops before dying. At firmware 1.9.0, we were back to our normal recording of minimum 14 days (although they often last longer). We tried different batteries, different energy saving settings, nothing worked besides bumping the firmware down. This issue was in both our brand new AudioMoths and 2-year old AudioMoths. 
 

I hope this helps.
