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.
