## Resource

Researchers are using trail cameras and AI to resurvey the Lewis and Clark Trail, capturing over six million images to track how mammal populations have shifted since the 1800s. Students from Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College lead fieldwork in North Dakota, deploying cameras with help from tribal and game wardens. AI flags wildlife, but humans verify—revealing a transformed landscape: grizzlies vanished, deer exploded, yet moose surprisingly thrive. Data collection ends in November, with full results due by 2027, setting the stage for future environmental monitoring.
