The Internet of Wild Things: Acoustics, AI and Conservation
summary
Rainforest Connection deploys ARM‑powered guardians — solar‑backed tree boxes with long‑range microphones — streaming continuous audio to cloud CNNs that auto‑detect chainsaws up to ~1 km and trigger ranger alerts; rangers used alerts to intercept and destroy logging trucks. Tools include Arbimon pattern‑matching, regional CNNs, and a labeled set of about 1,000 elephant calls pulled from nearly a million hours. Platform spans 38 countries with six years of data, 900 Puerto Rico sites sampled and 30 guardians queued to monitor parrot releases.
