Automated Detection of Wildlife Trafficking
Program Design
PROJECT OVERVIEW
As part of a broader effort to combat wildlife trafficking, LAM LHA helped a global association and a partner government with initial guidance in the development of a data library for the development of algorithms to automate the detection of wildlife parts in hold-baggage screening. Our efforts set the stage for additional funding discussions and a broader roadmap to build a Proof of Concept and eventually deploy the capability at scale.
