A decade of real-time intelligence for the planet
Allen Institute (AI2)
Ai2 has developed a decade-long suite of AI-powered platforms for environmental protection, including EarthRanger for wildlife monitoring, Skylight for detecting illegal fishing, and OlmoEarth, a foundation model for satellite imagery analysis. EarthRanger operates across 900 protected areas in 95 countries with AI camera traps and mobile apps enabling rangers to respond to elephant-human conflict within minutes in Thailand. OlmoEarth reduced planetary-scale analysis time from months to hours and achieved 97% accuracy in mangrove monitoring, while Skylight helped Argentina impose sanctions on illegal fishing vessels without physical interception.
Why it matters
For the past 10 years, Ai2 has built open, real-time tools that help people protect wildlife, oceans, and ecosystems around the world.
