Have you ever wondered what defines "wetlands"? According to National Geographic, the term "wetland" encompasses areas of land either submerged or saturated with water. Although they cover only about six percent of Earth’s surface, wetlands are home to an incredible diversity of plant and animal life. Often referred to as the “kidneys of the earth”, wetlands possess a remarkable ability to filter pollutants from water, trap sediment, mitigate flooding and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
Today, however, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate—three times faster than forests—making them one of Earth’s most endangered ecosystems. According to the United Nations, the world has lost 35% of its wetlands since 1970.
To combat this loss and restore damaged ecosystems, Hikvision is proactively leveraging its advanced AIoT technologies. Since 2022, Hikvision has partnered with Fuheyuan National Wetland Park in Jiangxi Province to establish a “smart wetland system”. This innovative system integrates species identification, environmental observation, and early ecological warnings to enable precise ecosystem management and support scientific research.
Enhanced protection for wetland birds
Using Hikvision's cutting-edge video perception technology, staff at the wetland park can easily observe bird behavior in real-time. At their Command Center, a single click gives them access to an intelligent bird species identification system powered by advanced algorithms. Such capabilities empower wetland staff to gain valuable insights into avian populations and their interactions with the ecosystem, supporting informed conservation efforts and ecological management strategies.
