Camera trapping and bioacoustics are both methods of monitoring wildlife ecosystems. They both involve hardware and software development, data collection, data analysis and drawing of insights. In this seminar, we will look at how we designed and implemented low-cost hardware for camera traps and acoustic recorders in Kenya’s Mt. Kenya region. We will also look into how we have applied machine learning to identify wildlife species from collected ecological data and how machine learning could assist in monitoring wildlife and their ecosystems at scale.
