A wildlife researcher specializing in African lion ecology, Robynne has extensively studied how flooding patterns influence lion behavior, movement, and population connectivity in the Okavango Delta. Through her work with WildCRU, she has coordinated large-scale camera trap surveys across northern Botswana and during her time in conservation has also developed her skills in wildlife management and game capture of various species. Her current work focuses on citizen science monitoring and research of carnivores and other key species to support mitigation and protection efforts. Drawing on her deep expertise with African lions, Robynne provides valuable guidance for ArgusWild's AI identification capabilities and actively promotes the platform's adoption throughout her extensive African conservation network.

After 4 years working in conservation followed by 3 years as a Camp Manager in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, the idea was born to create a bridge between those two fields. Marine took over the Ingwe Research Program in November 2022 and transformed it into a citizen science project involving over 50 lodges & reserves and 400+ individuals. 

Emily has spent almost 20 years working in conservation in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, and works closely with numerous stakeholders, including government and safari operators. The ArgusWildAI system is a very welcome tool allowing the harnessing of carnivore sightings from tourists, camera traps and researchers to create a monitoring network allowing us to fully understand carnivore dynamics in this and other ecosystems.

Researcher at the National Center for Research and Conservation of Carnivorous Mammals, Helena has been at the forefront of implementing AI-powered identification platforms for wildlife conservation in Brazil. Being the pioneer in using Whiskerbook for ocelot identification in South America, she successfully analyzed over 800 images across a five-year monitoring in the Amazon. Helena actively mentors students, colleagues and other biologists in utilizing these innovative tools for studying various cat species in Brazil and worldwide.

​A conservation biologist with extensive field experience across Africa, Dr. Claase has studied diverse species from Ethiopian geladas to Botswanan carnivores and Congolese bonobos. While at Botswana Predator Conservation, she made significant discoveries about African wild dog behavior and marking sites, advancing our understanding of these endangered canids. Now serving as Conservation Manager at African Parks in South Sudan, Dr. Claase is establishing wildlife monitoring programs and has been a longtime advocate for AI-powered identification tools like ArgusWild to enhance research efficiency and conservation outcomes.

​Jeanette has been a tireless champion of the platform from the very beginning. As an early adopter, she undertook the extensive task of re-curating citizen science data from three Kruger National Park cheetah censuses, establishing a robust foundation for her PhD research. Her dedication to advancing the platform's mission is evidenced through her presentations at the SAWMA conference, where she has effectively showcased the platform's potential for conservation research.
