Atlas of Living Australia Webinar: Understanding Australian Biodiversity with Technology

As a mega-diverse continent, Australia is home to hundreds of thousands of species, with more being discovered every year. Despite this, Australia faces one of the highest species extinction rates, meaning that innovative methods to detect and understand our biodiversity are becoming increasingly important.

Advancing technologies like genomics, imaging, ecoaccoustics, camera trapping, artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the way that researchers and policymakers respond to climate risks, species conservation and protection, biosecurity and decision-making. In this webinar hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia, hear from three groups discuss how they’ve used next-generation technology to support Australian biodiversity research.
