Special Session on AI for Natural Habitat Preservation and Demographic Resilience (AIDER)

Scope

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and natural habitat preservation offers unprecedented opportunities to address ecological and demographic challenges. We invite submissions for the Workshop on AI for Natural Habitat Preservation and Demographic Resilience, which aims to explore how AI technologies can be leveraged to protect ecosystems, promote biodiversity, and mitigate the impacts of declining human populations in rural and natural areas.


Topics

We welcome submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  1. AI for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Monitoring
    1. Use of AI in satellite imagery, drone data, and IoT devices for real-time monitoring.
    2. Machine learning applications for detecting habitat degradation and illegal activities.
  2. Demographic and Socio-Economic Modelling
    1. AI-powered models to analyse and predict the impacts of declining birth and marriage rates on natural habitats.
    2. Strategies for addressing urban migration and fostering demographic resilience.
  3. Sustainable Development, economy and Resource Optimization
    1. AI-driven solutions for smart agriculture, forestry, and water resource management.
    2. Tools to optimize eco-tourism, wellness tourism and other sustainable economic activities.
  4. Community Engagement and Education
    1. AI applications to enhance environmental education and local participation in conservation efforts.
    2. Technology-driven approaches to revitalize cultural and community connections to natural habitats.
  5. Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
    1. Predictive analytics for understanding and mitigating climate change impacts.
    2. AI-assisted restoration of degraded ecosystems and reforestation efforts.
  6. Ethical and Policy Considerations
    1. Balancing AI deployment with ethical, cultural, and ecological sensitivities.
    2. Policy frameworks to support AI-driven conservation and demographic resilience.
