Wildlife-Centered AI: How AWS and Tehanu Use Generative AI to Give Wildlife a Voice in Global Conservation

The Tehanu project in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park has demonstrated groundbreaking use of generative AI to infer and act on the interests of mountain gorillas. Leveraging technology solutions from Amazon Web Services (AWS), AWS Partner Anthropic, and with the support of AWS Partner Adastra, Tehanu created an automated pipeline to process behavioral data of gorillas, enabling the first-ever digital financial transactions by a non-human species.
