Open marine biodiversity data platform aiming to protect oceans by accelerating research and conservation.
"Digital nervous system of the planet"
"HuggingFace for biodiversity" (one Cloud for biodversity)
Note: wildflow is in early development.
In today's landscape, biodiversity researchers must not only excel in understanding nature and addressing the biodiversity crisis, but they also need to master big data management. This includes building data pipelines, aggregating data from various sources, cleaning data, handling extensive big data operations and deploying novel models for multi-model data formats.
What is wildflow?
It's an open platform that specializes in multi-modal biodiversity data (eDNA, bioacoustics, computer vision, geospatial, manual observations / other ways of measuring biosphere) and uses AI to e.g. forecast coral bleaching events, predict harmful algae blooms, create marine protected areas, assess the impact of offshore wind farms, run biodiversity assessments for corporates and more.
Our current focus on time series geospatial biodiversity data (observations of animals) and envirounmental data. Our goal is to enable in-depth study of marine population dynamics (also ecological niche modelling and other types of analysis) and provide essential building blocks to work on marine biodiversity applications.
Long-term focus:
- foundation models for biodiversity,
- building a "digital nervous system for the planet".
It's in early development. We have a prototype where you can upload e.g. your CSV files (e.g. shark trail) and join it with envirounmental data (e.g. water salitidy). We're working on making it globally available.
We have an open community Discord and WhatsApp. Come and say hello and let us know if you have any questions or need any help getting things running.
We welcome contributions to this mission of ocean conservation. Join us! 🤗
