The cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus, world's fastest land mammal. 98km/h (61mph) in a zoo... 93.24km/h (57.9mph) in the wild... Either way, very fast, and currently supported by our Wildbook. Tech 4 Conservation Wild Me

Spent 6+ months preparing and executing an experiment I was sooo sure was failing, but turns out it WORKED! Thank you to my field team including PredatorConservation and Megan Robinson , and to collaboratos Neil Jordan , @JPSuraci , Chris Wilmers sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The African wild dog; the species that triggered the motivation to build the ACW. Their unique coat patterns are relatively easy for people to differentiate, but a big challenge for our algorithms. Now we can, so get involved! #machinelearning #ai #tech4good

Interestingly, most of the #algorithms we use struggle to ID individuals based on photos of their faces. Except lions (who we are using facial recognition software on), the algorithms require body shots to tell individuals apart. #machinelearning #ai #tech4good #wildbook

The #brownhyena, Hyaena brunnea, the only extant species of its genus, the rarest hyaena, and one of the 10 species supported by ACW. Found in southern Africa, the brown hyena or #strandwolf is commonly found in desert, semi-arid desert, and woodland savannah areas. Wild Me

Not all algorithms are equal. Some perform better than others, and this depends on the target species e.g. spotted hyenas, Crocuta crocuta. Hotspotter vs MiewID candidate identified in #1 spot: HotSpotter: 51% MiewID: 80% A huge difference! @african_wildbook

Exciting wild dog discovery news from our #Malawi #citizenscience #wildlifeconservation #expedition with Lilongwe Wildlife Trust > biosphereexpeditions.cmail20.com/t/j-e-gydiyjk-… Join us on this expedition this September! #biosphereexpeditions #lilongwewildlife #lilongwewildlifetrust #elephant #leopard

The 9th species supported by #ACW; the #serval cat. This solitary #wildcat is found in sub Saharan Africa but avoids rainforests/deserts. It prefers close to water and can prey on juvenile Nile crocodiles! Pop. estimates vary; basically we don't know how many there are left.

Ever wondered what #CitizenScience looks like? It's as easy as uploading a photo of a #carnivore in #Africa and some information about where you saw it. That's enough to help researchers monitor individuals. Your sightings are valuable! Head to African Carnivore Wildbook to get involved!

Today is Canada Day! Learn about the wild cat species that call Canada home- Canada lynx, bobcats, and pumas! #canadaday #wildcat #northamerica #puma #mountainlion #lynx #bobcat #wildlife

This week's Inventory spotlight is MegaDetector, an AI model that detects humans, vehicles, and animals in camera trap data. Do you have any experience using MegaDetector (or another conservation tech tool)? Leave a review on The Inventory! wildlabs.net/inventory/prod…

While bottlenose dolphins led data growth last week in Wildbook, the Nubian giraffe was second and taught us how to patiently type its long Latin name (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis)! Thanks to @Save_Giraffe for bringing this species to Giraffespotter.org. 🐬🦒🦎🐈

The 10th species that we support; the striped hyena, Hyaena hyaena. Interestingly, the only species of hyena that is in the genus Hyaena (there are 4 extant species of hyena, each in their own genus). With ~10,000 left and pops declining the IUCN lists them as Near Threatened.

How many #leopards do you see in the first photo?? Check the second photo for the answer! A great catch by our detectors, one that perhaps even some human observers would miss on first glance... @african_wildbook #machinelearning #ai #detections #spotthecat #cameratrap

New leopard study published by Cape Leopard Trust (CLT)! Some fascinating dispersals - up to 112km! We Tech 4 Conservation & our partner Wild Me are proud to support this research through the African Carnivore Wildbook platform, offered for free to CLT & other conservationists across Africa #leopard #AIforgood

Truly honoured to be nominated for this award! It tells me we're making a difference, having an impact. Huge thanks to all those who show us such phenomenal support. The conservation community motivates us to do more every day! #conservation #indianapoliszoo

Excited to be presenting T4C's very popular conservation tech at today's speaker event, part of #blackmammalogists week 2024. Lots of great tech being showcased by my co-presenters. Check it out: tinyurl.com/BMW2024Conserv…

Es un alivio escuchar el discurso de la Ministra de Ambiente en la #ONU, reafirmando el compromiso del Gobierno de #Guatemala en la lucha por detener la pérdida de nuestras selvas. Un paso crucial para proteger nuestro futuro y el de la biodiversidad. #CeroDeforestación
