MCML member Ludwig Bothmann is featured in a documentary by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) titled: "Too Much Going On in the Forest? Using AI to Track Animals and Humans (orig. Zu viel los im Wald? Mit KI auf den Spuren von Tieren und Menschen)".

In Bavaria, where there is a legal right to freely access nature, encounters between humans and animals frequently occur in forests. The documentary addresses the question of whether wildlife is suffering from the added stress caused by humans and whether animals still have sufficient quiet zones. To answer this question, AI will be employed to analyze footage from various wildlife cameras.

Ludwig Bothmann, as an AI expert, is helping to develop the model and explains some of the challenges the researchers face as well as some advantages of using an AI for this analysis.
