AI/IoT employed in management of Tram Chim national park

May 17th, 2022

This week, Ambassador Robyn Mudie visited a project funded by the #Aus4Innovation program at Tram Chim National Park in Dong Thap province. This project utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) to help monitor the Park’s ecosystem health on a daily basis and assist the staff and researchers in decision making and ongoing research.
Tram Chim National Park is one of five largest national parks in Vietnam. It has significant biodiversity and tourism value, providing habitat for over 230 bird and 130 fish species, including the iconic and endangered Sarus Crane.
The University of Wollongong and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) are working together to contribute to the environmental protection of this large area, even in extreme weather conditions. With the potential of this transformative solution, Dong Thap province will provide funding to HCMUT to scale up the results of this project across the Park once the funding from Aus4Innovation concludes later this year.
