AWS and Tehanu Use Generative AI to Give Wildlife a Voice in Global Conservation
Discover how Tehanu uses groundbreaking AI solutions to empower interspecies economies, advancing conservation and global biodiversity efforts.
Overview
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. The AI solution synthesized vast academic and observational data, aligning conservation actions with species-specific preferences while supporting biodiversity efforts. This scalable, innovative approach sets a precedent for using AI to foster coexistence across species worldwide.
Together with AWS we have made the first step in a multigenerational journey where AI can help us better understand the interests of other species—not just humans—and build new systems that work in their interests.
