Dear all, Please find below, a list of upcoming CEE related events for the coming week. Events w/c 7th April ------------------------------------ Pleistocene climate change and the expansion of anatomically modern humans – ZSL Seminar series Speaker: Andrea Manica, (University of Cambridge) Date & time: Monday 7th April 16:15 Venue: Nuffield Seminar Room, ZSL, Outer Circle, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4RY ------------------------------------ InstantWILD: a revolution in field conservation – ZSL Seminar series Date & Time: 8 Apr 2014 18:00 - 19:45 Venue: Zoological Society of London, Regents Park, London NW1 4RY Organiser: Megan Orpwood-Russell One of the greatest challenges for wildlife conservationists is access to real-time data on species abundance and distribution, habitats and threats. Traditional monitoring and data collection methods often limit the space and time in which data can be collected owing to cost, resources and practicality of working in harsh environments. Advances in technology have the potential to revolutionise the way we collect, transmit and analyse data, allowing us to better conserve species and habitats. Given the urgency of wildlife protection in both terrestrial and marine environments, ZSL is developing innovative remote surveillance tools to overcome these challenges. InstantWILD enables camera traps to automatically transfer images via satellite for real-time image identification. With the addition of machine-learning technologies, such as automatic human-detection algorithms and pressure sensors, the scope and efficiency of InstantWILD will allow conservation biologists, park rangers and land managers to retrieve critical, time-sensitive data and respond immediately to threats. These advancements provide much needed information for adaptive protected area management on both local and global scales. Booking is not necessary for this event - seating is allocated on a first come, first served basis. Further details on talks and speakers will be available approximately one month prior to the event, so please check back on this page. This event in the 'Wildlife Conservation' series will begin at 6.00pm (doors from 5.00pm) and talks are scheduled to finish at 7.45pm; admission is free and open to everyone (no advance booking or registration required). This event will be held in the ZSL Meeting Rooms and seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
