Scientists use AI and solar-powered audio monitors to track endangered species like spider monkeys.

Scientists are using AI-powered audio monitors to track endangered wildlife, like Geoffrey's spider monkeys in Costa Rica. Microsoft's new system, Sparrow, uses solar-powered devices that can run for years, sending data via satellites to monitor animals across continents. The goal is to protect species at risk of extinction, with data to be open-sourced by 2025, while protecting sensitive locations from poachers.
