8. Wildlife Imaging Systems

Founded: 2019

“Wildlife Imaging Systems provides advanced computer vision and machine learning solutions to the wildlife research community, from field-ready video capture hardware to advanced video processing algorithms. We believe that there is incredible potential for video to provide better data to help wildlife biologist, but the main barrier is the complexity.

The first place we are focusing is to eliminate any conflict between wind and solar energy deployment and wildlife, smoothing the path to a world powered by renewables. This rapid deployment of renewables is needed to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change on wildlife species all around the globe. This would create a virtuous cycle of saving local wildlife from renewable energy’s impacts while benefiting global wildlife at the same time by increasing renewable energy generation. The better we are at saving local species, the more impact we can have on saving global species.”
