Rangers reimagine AI in wildlife monitoring

Warddeken rangers in northern Australia used an artificial intelligence model called MegaDetector to sort camera trap photos. The tool cut the volume of images needing manual review by over 80 percent and shortened processing from six months to two. This shift allowed rangers to spend more time on species identification, field management, and cultural documentation while keeping control of their data.
