Conservation Integrity Under Threat

Assessing AI vulnerabilities in conservation to prevent misinformation and protect our planet's biodiversity.

Innovative Conservation Misinformation Research Hub

Ecolife Nexus explores the dark side of conservation AI, assessing vulnerabilities and testing adversarial prompts that could undermine species protection and facilitate illegal activities.

A wooden signboard in a natural setting contains information about biodiversity conservation. The sign features text in both Portuguese and English, accompanied by images of various reptiles and other animals. The background shows lush green foliage, indicating a forest or a nature reserve environment.

Conservation Misinformation Testing

We develop prompts to reveal harmful conservation advice and AI vulnerabilities in environmental contexts.

Manipulation Vulnerability Assessment

A wooden sign stands in a lush forest surrounded by vibrant green foliage and dappled sunlight. The sign reads 'Restoration in Progress, Do Not Disturb,' indicating an area undergoing ecological recovery within a natural setting.

Assessing how industries exploit AI for misleading environmental impact assessments and conservation narratives.

A wooden sign positioned in a grassy area reads 'Area Closed for Resource Protection.' The background features a wide view of a landscape, including trees and what appears to be a town or settlement further away.

A forest path is lined with several warning signs attached to a metal post. The signs include messages about protecting wildlife, prohibiting dumping, and keeping the entrance clear for emergency vehicles. The path is wide, covered with leaves, and surrounded by bare trees, indicating a winter or early spring setting.

Testing models for harmful conservation advice and assessing their potential misuse in wildlife protection.

Harmful Advice Testing

Conservation Misinformation

Testing harmful prompts for conservation advice and industry manipulation.

A wooden sign attached to a tree with the words 'NO CONTAMINES' written in bold letters, indicating an environmental message. The sign is secured with wire and the tree is surrounded by lush greenery, suggesting a forest or jungle setting.

Industry Manipulation

Assessing vulnerabilities in conservation AI against extractive industries.

A group of people, including women and men, stand together holding signs that advocate for environmental awareness, specifically related to ocean conservation and climate change. The signs carry messages like 'Stop Ignoring the Ocean' and 'Whales Fight Climate Change'. The gathering is taking place in front of an old, grand building with a Gothic architectural style.

Species Protection

Studying impacts of AI on poaching and illegal trade.

A red warning sign with white letters, reading 'USE AT OWN RISK', is attached to an aged wooden log. The background consists of dense green foliage.

A discarded plastic bottle lies partially hidden among dense green foliage, with droplets of water visible on the surface, giving a sense of recent rain. The bottle features a red label with text and blends into the natural environment, highlighting themes of pollution.
