Our Changing World: Smart traps

On Our Changing World, Claire Concannon heads to the Wye Valley just outside Queenstown.  

The Southern Lakes Sanctuary project is setting up a new smart trap network there, the fourth they’ve built in the region. They hope these AI-powered traps will help them trap more efficiently in difficult-to-reach areas. 

Philip Green is a technical and field advisor for the project. He first came to the Wye Valley many years ago for the excellent climbing, and now is heavily involved in its conservation.
