Researchers from the University of Southampton employ AI and drones to find a mate for the critically endangered Encephalartos woodii, an ancient plant species. Their interdisciplinary approach blends science, technology, and art to save this species from extinction, inspiring hope and innovation in conservation efforts.
Rolf Mathewes was an undergrad student at SFU when his supervisor at the time found plant fossils from a deposit exposed during construction on Burnaby Mountain in the late 1960s.
