UK's National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme launches a 3-year AI-assisted project to track hedgehog populations and decline.
A UK initiative, the National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme (NHMP), launches a 3-year pilot project using AI and volunteers to track hedgehog populations and their decline. Cameras capture images in various habitats, AI separates wildlife from humans, and spotters identify hedgehogs, feeding vital data into estimates and conservation measures. The project aims to address the 30% urban and 50% rural decline since the Millennium, placing hedgehogs on Britain's red list of endangered mammals.
