After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn’t go near our neighbors without me present.

When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you see. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called “imageomics”. Imageomics uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.
Until recently, scientists didn’t have the technology to analyze(分析) the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.
There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare(稀有的) photos of wildlife, it’s a good idea to share them on these platforms.
Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence(人工智能) to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.
It’s important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers (偷猎者). If we do that, imageomics can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.
8. How can imageomics help scientists study wildlife
A. By offering information from wildlife.
B. By analyzing the data in wildlife photos.
C. By analyzing the trend of human population.
D. By knowing the origin of biological processes.
