Enhancing Zoo Management with Computer Vision: A New Era in Wildlife Monitoring

Supporting wildlife conservation has always been one of the core objectives of modern zoos. These facilities provide a safe haven for animals while also promoting biodiversity, scientific research, and education. However, managing the daily welfare of animals in large enclosures presents several challenges, from monitoring individual animal health to understanding their behavior and ensuring habitat suitability. Traditional animal monitoring methods rely heavily on human observation, which can be labour-intensive and prone to human error. In such complex and expansive environments, a more precise and efficient solution is needed. This is where AI-powered computer vision is revolutionizing zoo management and animal care. The Importance of Monitoring Animals in Zoos Accurate monitoring of animals in captivity is crucial for multiple reasons, including early detection of illness, injury, stress, and abnormal behaviors. With the help of AI-driven computer vision systems, zookeepers and...
