Australian researchers launch AI koala facial recognition
Researchers are installing facial recognition technology at koala crossing locations to better monitor koala behavior and prevent vehicle fatalities. They hope AI can help save the marsupial from extinction.
The researchers hope AI will be able to differentiate between individual koalas using road crossings, based on their faces and their movements
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers in Australia are experimenting with facial recognition technology to monitor koalas as part of conservation efforts.
The team from Griffith University in the northeast state of Queensland is attempting to use AI to recognize the marsupials when they use wildlife crossings, designed to offer the animals a safe route either over or under public roads.

Support for bushfire affected communities extended to end of 2021
Recovery Support Services for those affected by last season’s unprecedented bushfires have been extended until the end of 2021 by the Federal Government and the NSW Government.
Recovery Support Services link people to their own personalised recovery support worker, who can help navigate and access services and disaster assistance.
Australian Government Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the extension would ensure long-term support is available for impacted communities throughout their recovery.
“We’re pleased to extend this funding for another 12 months as these locally based services provide an important link between survivors and the support they need as they recover,” Minister Littleproud said.
