Tech4Nature - Mexico

Tech4Nature Mexico, was born to strengthen the monitoring, conservation and understanding of the effects of climate change on ecosystems and priority species. This includes threatened species such as the jaguar, spider monkey and other species in a protected area in the coastal zone of southeastern Mexico. This is done through machine learning, data from eco-acoustic and camera-trap image monitoring. Moreover, this initiative harnesses the power and potential of multisector collaborations and community centered approaches to untap the biodiversity conservation protection of a key area of Latin America. This project is in partnership with local project partner C Minds, a women-led action tank that works in the intersection of new technologies, society and the environment, with a strong focus in Latin America. As well as with the Government of Yucatan and local Huawei’s Mexico Office, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Yucatan.
