Deep learning in terrestrial conservation biology

Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate on Earth. As a first step to more effectively combat this process we need efficient methods to monitor biodiversity changes. Recent technological advance can provide powerful tools (e.g. camera traps, digital acoustic recorders, satellite imagery, social media records) that can speed up the collection of biological data. Nevertheless, the processing steps of the raw data served by these tools are still painstakingly slow. A new computer technology, deep learning based artificial intelligence, might, however, help. In this short and subjective review I oversee recent technological advances used in conservation biology, highlight problems of processing their data, shortly describe deep learning technology and show case studies of its use in conservation biology.
