## Resource

Oregon’s forests are turning to tech to protect endangered species like the northern spotted owl—biologists are swapping boots for AI-powered sound recorders that capture wildlife audio autonomously, turning raw sound into visual species IDs. This cuts costs, boosts coverage, and frees humans for critical validation work. With approval pending from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state aims to revolutionize forest monitoring for healthier ecosystems and smarter conservation.
