	🗞 Article	🦔 Wildlife-Human Conflict Mitigation	Case Studies of Using Computer Vision to Mitigate Harm to Wild Animals that interact with Human-made Systems	by Rethink Priorities, Tapinder Sidhu. Case studies were in regards to computer vision and include: ◦ Placing them near wind turbines which shut them off when birds are detected, resulting in a 75%-89% reduction in eagle fatality rates. ◦ Installing them in crop fields to scare off birds when they approach (prevents stimulus acclimatization) to reduce the need for lethal methods of deterrence.
	🗞 Article	🦔 Wildlife-Human Conflict Mitigation	AI Used to Track British Wildlife Along Rail Lines	by Robin McKie. AI wildlife monitoring “provides important benchmarks for measuring biodiversity in future… In the past, we have had to estimate local wildlife populations from the dead animals – such as badgers – that have been left by the track or the roadside. This way we get a much better idea of population sizes.”

	🗞 Article	🏭 Precision Livestock Farming	The AI revolution comes for farmers growing a third of our food	Summary: The Ulangizi app, piloted by Opportunity International, leverages AI to assist Malawian subsistence farmers by providing crop and animal disease management advice in the local language, Chichewa, through WhatsApp. For example, farmers can take photos of sick animals, and the app diagnoses issues and suggests treatments, helping prevent livestock losses. Despite challenges such as limited smartphone access and connectivity, the app is seen as a valuable resource, saving time and money by providing quick, reliable agricultural information.	www.aiforanimals.org
