To assist in that upskilling, and to foster a community in which those impacted can help each other build AI skills, the CV4Ecology program is organizing a two-week remote workshop in May of 2025 that will teach AI methods to former US public sector conservation scientists.

The AI for wildlife conservation community has been impacted by recent layoffs in the US public sector; many conservation scientists have reached out to AI practitioners for advice on building AI skills before re-entering the workforce.

Seeing a return of spawning salmon so soon after the last of the dams came down is incredibly encouraging. I've been following the klamath removal story at a distance, and I never expected it to start showing results so soon. Heartwarming in a cold time, and a glimmer that recovery is possible.
