Huawei Technologies' AI-powered monitoring systems are helping to conserve endangered species, including the white-headed langur in China and coral in eastern China. The technology has improved the efficiency of conservation efforts, allowing for real-time identification and tracking of species, and has been recognized as part of China's Mountain-Water initiative.
Huawei Technologies has developed an AI-powered monitoring system to help conserve the white-headed langur, a critically endangered primate in China. The system uses camera feeds and AI models to identify and label langurs in real-time, providing researchers with detailed information on population size, movement, and distribution. The technology has been applied in the Guangxi Chongzuo White-headed Langur National Nature Reserve, where it has recorded over 37,200 langur identifications. Similar projects have been implemented in eastern China to identify coral and fish species, and in Norway to distinguish between native and invasive salmon. These efforts have showcased the use of digital technology for wildlife and habitat conservation. The impact has been significant, with improved data and reduced need for physical patrols. Huawei's technology has helped to speed up the impact of authorities' policies and legal frameworks to protect endangered species.
