EarthRanger programme strengthens management of 6 protected areas
EarthRanger, an artificial intelligence programme for monitoring wildlife, has been deployed in six more natural parks in Botswana, Mozambique and the Republic of Congo. The project, which will run until March 2026, is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and its partners to the tune of US$7.2 million. It aims to reduce the decline of biodiversity in Africa.
A new conservation project is deploying EarthRanger software to enhance security around six protected areas in Africa. These are Chobe National Park in Botswana, Limpopo and Zinave National Parks in Mozambique, and Nouabalé-Ndoki, Odzala-Kokoua and Conkouati-Douli National Parks in the Republic of Congo. This makes a total of 4.9 million hectares of terrestrial protected areas (PA).
