75% Loss Sends UK Hedgehogs Into AI's Satellite Hunt

Cambridge is using Tessera, satellites and AI to map UK hedgehog habitats after rural numbers plunged up to 75% since 2000.

Key takeaways

• Britain’s hedgehog problem is not a lack of affection for the animal. It is a lack of precise, up-to-date visibility into where the species can still move, feed and br...
• Researchers at the University of Cambridge are using satellite data and AI to map hedgehog habitats across the UK, in a project aimed at slowing a steep po...
• The tension is obvious. Conservation has long depended on field observations, local records and targeted surveys. Cambridge is now adding something more industrial: **...
• Britain expected surveys to carry the load; Cambridge is adding satellites
