Welcome to the 2023 Workshop Page on Advancing Automated Techniques for Wildlife Surveys Across the Greater Mara Ecosystem. During the workshop, we presented findings from an ecosystem-wide aerial survey that was flown in March 2022, with the goal of receiving feedback on the analytical framework being developed to automatically locate and count large wildlife in remotely sensed images. This workshop provides details of the open-source workflow being developed for archiving survey data, how machine learning models are being applied and evaluated, and the cloud-based platform that is accessible to wildlife managers to share results. Additional details can be found at the links below, inclusive of recordings of invited speakers. Please contact meeting organizers for further details.
