Drones, AI and ducks: How Mizzou is leading the future of wildlife conservation

University of Missouri-Columbia

For decades, scientists have relied on airplanes to count birds — a method that’s loud, costly and sometimes dangerous. Accuracy depends on the human eye, and even trained observers can sometimes miss details when birds scatter or blend into their surroundings. Now, scientists at Mizzou’s College of Engineering, led by Professor Yi Shang, are taking that process to new heights. By pairing drones with artificial intelligence, the team developed a smarter, safer and faster way to track the migration patterns of these birds — including mallards and pintails, two species of wild duck common to Missouri. Their efforts could transform how this conservation work is carried out across the state and beyond.
