(1/2) XPRIZE is proud to be at the Yale Innovation Summit supporting Map of Life, the second place winner of our #XPRIZERainforest competition. From high-fidelity local precision to global trends, @MapofLife_AI is turning complex biodiversity data into decision-ready insight.

How does MOL generate these lists? What are the limitations? What taxonomies are used?
For all these and more questions, head to the FAQ page: mol.org/regions/faq

The Regions tools allows users to select any country, state or province, or protected area anywhere in the world and create their own custom area for on-the-fly species list generation:

We've just launched a new tool at mol.org/regions in partnership with @FieldMuseum!
For any region, anywhere in the world, @moldotorg can generate a data-backed species list in seconds. Read our new story about the tool, dive in, and explore! tinyurl.com/yfn7ey6h

The Species Habitat Index assesses ecosystem integrity by calculating habitat loss at the species level.
Explore the status of your country’s biodiversity and find those species most threatened by habitat loss at mol.org/indicators/habitat/r…

From a 23-pound radio collar to 1000s of lightweight satellite tags, animal tracking has come a long way since the 70s.
Check out our coverage of the Internet of Animals Symposium, where experts convened to explore the frontiers of spaceborne tracking: tinyurl.com/2p99r8f7
ALT Virtual news headline screenshot: the text reads "At Yale, experts delve into the future of spaceborne animal tracking" and is accompanied by a photo of a brown bear standing in shallow water with a radio collared around its neck.

New Global Biodiversity Framework indicators provided by @moldotorg can be applied to any geographic units to develop regional indices. Example: Half Earth Project Map we developed with @moldotorg & @EOWilsonFndtn!

Can we save nature? Will nations act? Dr. Walter Jetz, Scientific Chair, E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, is at #COP15 working to ensure we leave no species behind.

We're all set up for the start of #COP15 tomorrow at our partners' booths @GEOBON_org @FutureEarth
We're excited to talk with parties about our indicators: the Species Protection, Species Habitat, & Species Status Information Indices!
Check them out at mol.org/indicators!

Starting off day 2 with a session all about observation systems! We’re hearing from Scott Rogerson, Tobey Curtis @Mojoshark, Martin Wikelski @animaltracking, and Ian Brosnan on recent work at their institutions.

Walter Jetz on opportunities in Internet of Animals & the fusion of movement & remote sensing data:
"The exciting news is we’re able to do [animal movement annotation] at scale...we can go more fluidly between geographic & niche space" using tools like mol.org/stoat/!

Also new to the Half-Earth map is the Analyze Areas tool: investigate biodiversity, protection status, and human pressures in existing or custom polygons! bit.ly/3V4tKws
On-the-fly species checklists are supported by comprehensive species data from @moldotorg

+ a single estimate is not too helpful when many species have lost close to 0% and others have lost 100%, so instead we study variability in genetic diversity losses
Many threatened species must have lost a lot (>>10%) based on habitat loss, and it will keep ongoing @moldotorg
