Connection needed!

Groups

Hi everyone -- I'm hoping to connect with a woman who is based in Asia (South or South East Asia) and is working on AI / machine learning to prevent and reverse environmental degradation.

If you fit the profile or know someone who might, please get in touch!

With thanks

Alice

For a summary of this project and another ( presented by a man ) see

At the IUCN's World Conservation Congress I ran into two applications of machine learning (ML) to guard protected areas against direct detrimental human activity. Both stories are success stories but also both applications are in their early phases. In this post, I will compare the two and ask a couple of common sense questions that…
