In the last decade, Africa’s elephant population has declined by around 110,000, primarily due to poaching. The slaughter of African rhinos has also skyrocketed — 1,175 were killed in South Africa in 2015 alone, compared with 13 in 2007. Because poachers operate mostly under the cover of night, this type of crime is hard to tackle. In December 2012, Google awarded WWF a $5 million grant to tackle the poaching crisis through technology, launching the Wildlife Crime Technology Project. They have collaborated with FLIR, a thermal imaging company, to design a new infrared camera capable of detecting human movement at night, and have installed cameras around Kenya's Maasai Mara Conservancy. Since the programme started, local rangers have nabbed over 150 poachers.

Computation is the biggest technological change we have ever witnessed, says John Underkoffler, the CEO of Oblong Industries, because it is the absolute opposite of the world we know. This is because it has no in-built representation; it is a purely abstract realm. He gained his mass of experience in computer graphics, holography and largescale visualization to sci-fi spectaculars Minority Report and Iron Man, where he advised on the science of the near future – he thinks that our best way of getting our heads around the amazing, abstract issue of computation is through the analogy of architecture. #architecture #wiredlive ABOUT WIRED SMARTER Experts and business leaders from the worlds of Energy, Money and Retail gathered at Kings Place, London, for WIRED Smarter on October 9, 2018.
