The Future of AVs in Wildlife Conservation Efforts

The integration of autonomous vehicles in conservation efforts can take many forms. Aerial drones can monitor wildlife populations from above, offering a comprehensive view of vast areas that would otherwise be difficult for humans to survey. Ground-based autonomous vehicles can traverse difficult terrains to collect data and detect illegal activities such as poaching. Meanwhile, autonomous aquatic vehicles can explore underwater ecosystems, gathering data on marine life and water conditions.
