Artificial intelligence tool finds endangered Queensland bird by “listening” out for its call

The software may aid in the protection of other threatened species.

A.jpg

An artificial intelligence tool, developed by Queensland, researchers, has been able to identify the song of an endangered bird, helping scientists find the elusive feathered friend.

Eastern Bristlebirds have not been seen, nor their songs heard, in southeast Queensland in three years since the Black Summer bushfires which ripped through the state, as well as New South Wales and Victoria.

The Eastern Bristlebird is listed on the federal government’s website as “Endangered” in Queensland and NSW, and “Critically Endangered” in Victoria.

However, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria suggests the northern population, with an estimated 30 individuals according to the Queensland government, is also critically endangered.

Conservation groups, government and researchers teamed up to try and find the rare bristlebird.
