New photos of Australian wildlife in bushfire recovery areas, captured and analysed using artificial intelligence, have given new insights into the journey of vulnerable species back from natural disaster.
Researchers from WWF and Conservation International teamed up with local land managers to collect more than 7m photos from about 1,100 sensor-activated cameras in eight parts of Australia affected by bushfires in recent years.
They captured a wombat mum with her joey in the New South Wales southern ranges, a rare group of echidnas on Kangaroo Island as well as Kangaroo Island dunnarts, dingo pups in Victoria’s East Gippsland, and koalas in the Blue Mountains and south-east Queensland.
