Google Restores Nature With Three AI-Based Efforts
JAKARTA Since 1970, the population of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibious has decreased by 70 percent. This huge change prompted Google to deliver the latest innovations.
Google will present three efforts to accelerate the protection and recovery of nature with the most critical conditions. The first attempt is to launch an accelerator that startups can use with special technologies to restore nature.
The company will help the 'best startup' by offering 10 weeks of virtual programs, including assistance and technical support from Google engineers and experts. The program offered is named AI for Nature and Climate.
Furthermore, Google announced that it has invested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to address this environmental problem. Through Google.org, the company has provided US$3 million (Rp49 trillion) to the instituteo CLima e Sociedade (iCS).

These funds will later be channeled to non-profit organizations and selected research centers in Brazil. For selected organizations, these funds will be used to restore lost biodiversity, support bioeconomics, and support regenerative agriculture.
Lastly, Google launched SpeciesNet, an open-source AI model designed to identify animal species by analyzing photos. Before being available in open-source form, SpeciesNet can be accessed via Google Cloud-based tools.
This tool called Wildlife InSights will be used to simplify the monitoring of biodiversity and confirm various Asian concert decisions taken. The hope is that by presenting an open-source version, this tool can improve environmental recovery.
