It has been more than 40 years since anyone has found a Japanese river otter. It is just one of the animals that have been listed as extinct(灭绝) or locally extinct in recent years. But the development of technology could mean that the extinction of other animals is not likely to take place.
A huge challenge scientists face is watching endangered animals in order to help them. This is where artificial intelligence (Al) has brought a turning point in the way information on these animals is collected and studied.

With a collection of their summer behavior facts, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mysterious animals living off the coast of New Zealand. However, because of weather conditions, researchers know almost nothing about their winter behavior. After four years of developing and testing, these scientists were able to use a drone(无人机) with AI to watch the dolphins no matter the season. The result was more wild areas provided for them to live.
