Leveraging Cutting-edge Technologies for Disruptive Conservation
Leveraging Cutting-edge Technologies for Disruptive Conservation
Partnering with conservation efforts that could benefit from the development of technologies like A.I., machine learning, and computational biology to enhance an understanding of animal behavior and ecosystems, the Foundation is paving the way for innovative, data-driven approaches to preventing extinction.
Ongoing Projects
African & Asian Elephants
In Partnership With
Elephant Drone Behavior Tracking
Deciphering the secrets of elephant behavior could revolutionize conservation for this iconic species. This project utilizes advanced drone technology and machine learning for tracking and studying African elephants, and aims to enhance conservation and research efforts by providing detailed insights into elephant behavior and social dynamics.
Lab & Field Notes
In Partnership With
AI-Enhanced Orphan Elephant Reintroduction
Partnering with Botswana’s Elephant Havens, we employ our AI platform to study orphaned elephants’ social development for eventual reintroduction. This aids Elephant Havens’ release strategies and provides valuable insights for rewilding elephants in herds lacking a strong adult presence.

Tooth-Billed Pigeon
In Partnership With
Searching for the Lost Tooth-Billed Pigeon
This elusive tooth-billed pigeon, also known as the “little dodo,” is a bird native to the island of Samoa. It is classified as Critically Endangered and has not had a confirmed sighting since 2013. This collaboration is working to develop an A.I.-powered bioacoustic monitoring system aimed at locating the “lost” tooth-billed pigeon using the bird’s unique vocalization.
