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
