Wildlife Insights

Using artificial intelligence and the power of big data to provide scientists an unequaled view into the habits and habitats of wildlife, data that is critical for crafting smart conservation policies. It takes “animal selfies” through motion-detector cameras — known as camera traps — to snap thousands of photos a day of animals rarely seen by human eyes. As the largest camera-trap database in the world, Wildlife Insights has the potential to transform wildlife conservation by providing reliable, frequent and up-to-date information on myriad species that are largely invisible to science and conservation practitioners.

Marine Aquarium Biodiversity and Trade Flow

Researchers from Roger Williams University and the New England Aquarium developed this interactive web tool to illuminate and evaluate the global shipping pathways of the aquarium trade. Registered users can examine exporting countries and the ports where the fish and invertebrates enter the U.S. Additional features include selecting a species/group of species to determine origin and volume in the trade. The web portal is the culmination of several years of work, including tabulating the volume and diversity of marine ornamental species entering the U.S. via aquarium trade pathways.

Ouro Alvo/Ouroteca

“Gold Library” – database with samples obtained from different parts of Brazil that allows the federal police to create a chemical fingerprint of each sample, which they can then use to cross-reference the origin of seized or suspicious gold.

RhODIS

Database that gathers DNA profiles and the location of rhinos in South Africa. When authorities confiscate rhino horn, they can run a DNA test to determine its exact origin. This is intended to serve as a deterrent to poachers and assist in prosecutions.

SEINEF

Web platform that requires actors along the supply chain to enter volume and authorization information. The system allows government officials and law enforcement officers to follow the flow of timber products from the forest to buyers, and identify discrepancies in volumes, species and products reported.
