ht Poaching the Poachers: How Kenya is Saving Elephants with Night Vision Tech By www.wired.com Published On :: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 04:09:30 +0000 In the last decade, Africa’s elephant population has declined by around 110,000, primarily due to poaching. The slaughter of African rhinos has also skyrocketed — 1,175 were killed in South Africa in 2015 alone, compared with 13 in 2007. Because poachers operate mostly under the cover of night, this type of crime is hard to tackle. In December 2012, Google awarded WWF a $5 million grant to tackle the poaching crisis through technology, launching the Wildlife Crime Technology Project. They have collaborated with FLIR, a thermal imaging company, to design a new infrared camera capable of detecting human movement at night, and have installed cameras around Kenya's Maasai Mara Conservancy. Since the programme started, local rangers have nabbed over 150 poachers.

ht Sandra Wachter: Exploring fairness, privacy and advertising in an algorithmic world By www.wired.com Published On :: Mon, 08 Jul 2019 11:41:11 +0000 Sandra Wachter is a Lawyer, Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford. In this video, Sandra discusses how the law can keep up with new technology. Particularly, she spoke about her recent work on targeted advertising – a big issue for tech giants including Facebook and Amazon. The law already protects against discrimination based on certain identity traits such as race or gender. But targeted advertisers claim to group people according to “affinity” – an aggregate measure of their online behaviour – not identity. Wachter believes, however, that existing concepts in the law may have something to say about discrimination by affinity.

ht We Used to Eat Animals the Right Way - Here’s What Changed By www.wired.com Published On :: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 16:00:00 +0000 Dr. Bill Schindler explains why the processes we have in place today in the food industry lead to a less healthy and enriched lifestyle. The way humans eat animals has shifted. Our brains grew significantly once the human race started hunting its food. Diets that consisted of blood, guts, and organs contributed to that growth. These parts of animals are almost completely absent from modern day diets; and these provided much more nutrition than just the animal's meat. Full Article
