Tropical rainforests are complex ecosystems that house over half of the world’s species, but they’re under threat from deforestation and climate change. Meanwhile, gathering data about the shifts in populations is difficult and unreliable. But artificial intelligence could help.

Reset learns about the Morton Arboretum’s efforts to build accessible tools that can be used to monitor the species that call rainforests home.

GUESTS: Chuck Cannon, senior scientist, Morton Arboretum

Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University Chicago’s Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility
