TO SAVE ITS UNIQUE AND RARE BIRDS, NEW ZEALAND IS TURNING TO AI AND GENETIC RESEARCH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

New Zealand plans to eliminate invasive predators by 2050 to give its native birds a chance. This will be the largest invasive species removal project in the world, with millions of animals in line for extermination. The country is using new technology, like automated traps that use artificial intelligence, and is researching ways to potentially stop invasive predators from breeding. The technologies and techniques developed in the program could help other countries deal with their invasive species.
