Explore how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing wildlife conservation through real-time, automated monitoring of species across marine, forest, and freshwater ecosystems.
What Is AI-Driven Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM)?
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) uses sound to detect wildlife presence and behavior. When powered by AI, it transforms from a manual listening tool into an advanced real-time system that helps researchers track species, detect threats, and protect biodiversity at scale.
