The Digital Animal and Conservation by Algorithm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Digital innovation has brought about a revolution in devices to observe, track and locate animals.\u00a0 These range from fixed devices such as webcams and camera traps (trail cams), through airborne and satellite remote sensing to tracking and imaging devices fitted to living animals (collars and tags).\u00a0 Digital data from these devices is streamed, shared, archived and analysed, yielding new knowledge and new systems of knowledge accumulation, and enabling new modes of intervention in non-human lives and human society, \u2018conservation by algorithm\u2019.\u00a0 This seminar will discuss some of these innovations, and their implications.\u00a0 It will explore the new digital lives that animals take on within databases and information networks, and their implications for human understandings of nature, and for conservation management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
