Article Summary
This article was published as part of the Japanese edition of *WIRED*’s web feature “The Garden of AI.”Fifteen startups that utilize AI to understand and conserve nature are introduced, divided into three categories: OBSERVE (capturing the state and changes in nature), PROTECT (detecting anomalies and protecting nature), and RESTORE (creating mechanisms to regenerate nature).
Our company was featured as one of the startups in the OBSERVE category.The article highlights that we are a Kyoto University-spinoff startup implementing “biologging”—a technique that involves attaching small sensors to wild animals to record their behavior and surrounding environment—into society. It also explains that even in areas where it is difficult for humans to bring in monitoring equipment, ecosystems can be observed by having the animals themselves collect data as they move.
Our Initiatives
Since our establishment in 2014, our company (Biologging Solutions, Inc.) has developed and provided the “LoggLaw” series—comprising data loggers for aquatic animals, GPS collars for wildlife, and underwater video loggers—as well as “Animal Portal,” a cloud-based wildlife data management platform.In recent years, we have also been working on marine acoustic monitoring, which uses AI to classify sounds recorded underwater and visualize the state of marine ecosystems on maps.
Encouraged by this feature, we will continue to develop and implement technologies that help us understand nature through data on animals and the environment. Please be sure to check out the article.
