The implications of this work can accelerate animal communication, behavioral ecology, and machine learning research. Imagine a world where we could understand the communications of whales or dolphins to the point where it could help us avert stranding events, or we could us a deep understanding of elephant culture to improve conservation corridors.
The potential implications are only just beginning to be understood, but they offer huge promise for rebalancing our relationship with the rest of nature. Read the full blog about this grant here.
