How AI Is Stopping Wildlife Trafficking | Vanessa Pirotta | TEDxSydney GIS

Is that a lizard in your luggage? A bird in your handbag? The illegal wildlife trade of wildlife is a global problem where wildlife is deliberately moved across borders. In a world first, Dr Vanessa Pirotta and her Australian team demonstrates the use of AI for good, using Xray technology to build trafficking detection algorithms for wildlife smuggled in air cargo and traveller/mail pathways. Vanessa is one of Australia’s most renowned wildlife scientists, pioneering innovative technologies to transform wildlife conservation across marine (whale snot drones) and terrestrial environments (AI to detect illegal wildlife trafficking). A globally recognised science communicator, she is driven by a passion for making science accessible, influential, and inclusive- earning recognition as one of the Australian Financial Review’s Top 100 Women of Influence and Science & Technology Australia’s Superstars of STEM. Her leadership has been honoured through major accolades including the NSW Premier’s Woman of Excellence and an Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Science.

Vanessa leads impactful, cross-generational research that empowers communities through wildlife, including the Tongan Whale Tourism Project in the Kingdom of Tonga and the creation of the Wild Sydney Harbour citizen science program collaborating with First Nations Gamay Rangers to unite Indigenous Knowledge with cutting-edge science. A celebrated author of acclaimed wildlife books for children and adults, a trusted media voice, and an invited MC for the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science, Vanessa stands at the forefront of conservation, communication, and leadership—shaping how science is understood, valued, and used to protect our natural world.
