“Saving the Tasmanian devil is one of the world’s great wildlife conservation projects. This is a real life and death challenge, not just to save a species, but to understand the nature of a new and terrible form of cancer – Devil Facial Tumour Disease” – The Tasmanian Nature Company.
Phoebe, a volunteer for Data4Good and Senior Consultant for our founding sponsor, Altis Consulting, is working on the team that is using Machine Learning in a bid to recognise tassie devils from imagery taken out in the field with the aim to assess population health. Phoebe will talk about the technology used in this Data4Good project and what they hope to achieve as a long term goal. This critical project enhances the technological aspects being used as one of the measures protecting Tasmanian devils on the Tasman Peninsula. There are some elements though where help is required from other organisations and we’re keen to track down and connect with those groups.
