Investing in nature: the implications and opportunities for innovation
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
DR BENNO SIMMONS
I’m an ecologist and conservationist who uses use data science, AI and technology to help understand and reverse biodiversity loss. I have broad interests, but some specific projects being worked on at the moment in the lab are:
Using deep learning to automate the identification of rare species in camera trap images
Using large datasets of species population trends to understand global biodiversity change
Assessing the potential for other effective area-based conservation measures to support marine biodiversity
Combining camera traps and bioacoustics to automatically monitor lion populations in Africa
Using global datasets of species interaction networks to predict the impacts of invasive species on ecological communities
Using machine learning to forecast the productivity of the Amazon from climate models
