New video about our work in Madagascar to monitor biodiversity with a range of methods. This one on drones: youtu.be/Zh5tNBp08hA

Open Letter by scientists to the Council: "Climate Neutrality Is Europe’s Greatest Economic Opportunity”. Ahead of the European Council meeting on 23.10.2025, 2,178 scientists urge EU Heads of States & Governments to take ambitious decisions for the 2040 targets. zenodo.org/records/1739...

Using drones with thermal cameras and ML to automate the detection of small peat fires could help to detect these fires when they are just starting and increase the options to extinguish them: www.mdpi.com/2504-446X/9/...

Our new paper is out! We found #orangutans develop #nest-building skills through observational #sociallearning, #selectiveattention to“know-how” and transmission of“know-what” information. 🦧🦧🦧🦧 #academicsky #primates #science #biologicalscience #warwickpsych 🦧🦧🦧🦧 link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

[COMMENTARY] Tools like drones & GPS apps allow local & indigenous communities to track deforestation & respond to territorial threats quickly. But these tools must be introduced with local realities and cultural wisdom in mind. ** The views expressed are author's, not necessarily Mongabay's.

Excited to see this paper on conservation technology out by a group of colleagues led by @tonylynam.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

Excited to see this paper out with a focus on robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) and conservation. "Overall, it was felt that RAS could lead to major progress in monitoring of terrestrial biodiversity by supplementing rather than supplanting existing methods." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here the next video for the conservation technology project in Madagascar. This time on drones: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cw5...

🚨🐵Paid primate work: In collaboration with Stichting AAP and University of Rennes, we are looking for a research coordinator to monitor a wild Barbary macaque reintroduction. More details and how to apply can be found here: groups.google.com/a/g-groups.w...

And the 4th post. All on bioacoustics. Other conservation technology is featured in the previous posts. Stay tuned for more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy_a...

The 3rd post of the Madagascar project can be seen on this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0O3...

And here a link to the 2nd post of the Madagascar project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA5E...

Excited to share the first post of a project in Madagascar that I am part of. Follow the link for the whole post and video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeSx...

Even as “no deforestation” pledges become the norm among the biggest companies, we are still linking illegal palm oil plantations inside the Rawa Singkil Wildlife Reserve to major brands. This shows it's not just about a nice pledge – there needs to be accountability! www.ran.org/the-understo...

New paper on orangutan translocations has been published Our new paper 'Outcomes of orangutan wild-to-wild translocations reveal conservation and welfare risks' is out:

Very happy to see this new paper out on automated curlew detection on images from mobile phone network enabled camera traps connected to the conservationAI platform www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/17...

Great to see this usage of drones to monitor primates out with a permanent link.

Great to see the conservation work for the white-bellied heron that I participated in with RSPN featured on Bhutan Broadcasting Services: www.facebook.com/share/1C4AtN...

Great usage of drones with a thermal sensor to detect the Tapanuli orangutan! Congrats to this Indonesian team of researchers for doing this! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New @ljmuofficial.bsky.social MSc Wildlife Conservation prog launching September 2025 based on three pillars: RESEARCH - TECHNOLOGY - PRACTICE. Excited to have designed and to lead on this. For more info, visit: www.ljmu.ac.uk/study/course...

Our first attempt to combine computer vision models with models to obtain additional information on the species detected in images to further support conservation efforts. We aim to expand this in the future. www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24...

Our new paper on oil palm in the Central African region and its impact on African apes out. zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to announce the release of our latest paper in Scientific Reports: "Development of a global thermal detection index to prioritize primate research with thermal drones." Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Check out the dashboard: rpubs.com/Russell_Gray... #Drones #Primates

A great write up of the camera trap and #ConservationAI research in the Netherlands. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c1bc...

We updated our #ConservationAI client. You can now process images on the cloud and offline (on your own computer). So when connectivity is not strong or when you have data on sensitive species you can just process locally: www.linkedin.com/posts/conser...

A hopefully useful paper on oil palm plantations globally was recently published. It presents a global oil palm extent layer for the year 2021 and the planting-year layer from 1990 to 2021. #palmoil essd.copernicus.org/articles/16/...

I am happy to share our latest publication on our #conservationAI platform that supports automated detection and classification of animals in camera trap and drone data. Register and give it a go! @ljmubiocon.bsky.social @ljmuimpact.bsky.social www.mdpi.com/2673-7159/4/...

Our new paper on using drones with thermal infrared to detext primates is out. I hope it is useful for the conservation community. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
