Recent advances in technology have created opportunities to understand nature at unprecedented speed and scale. Earth observation systems, camera traps, bioacoustic recorders, and environmental DNA can generate more and better information about ecosystems than ever before.

Edge computing, improved connectivity from satellite systems, and large-scale cloud computing and storage make it possible to collect and analyze data from even the most remote locations in near-real time.

Amazonian organizations have been leading the deployment of these technologies across the region. With new AI techniques and solutions, we have the capacity and the opportunity to scale.

By combining satellite observations with data collected on the ground, AI can reveal patterns, trends, and changes in ecosystems and wildlife that would be impossible to detect from any single data source alone.
