【科技赋能生态保护：人工智能助力人与自然和谐共生】

在全球生物多样性面临严峻挑战的背景下，科技正成为守护地球家园的新力量。最新数据显示，自1970年以来全球野生动物种群数量下降73%，生物多样性丧失已被世界经济论坛列为未来十年全球稳定面临的最大威胁之一。

为响应"3030"全球倡议（即2030年前保护30%地球陆地和海洋），科研机构正通过环境数据与人工智能技术的深度融合，推动生态保护进入新阶段。其创新实践主要体现在三大领域：

一、构建地球全景数字镜像
通过整合卫星影像、气候与生态系统数据，新一代地球科学平台可实现多维度环境动态监测。以近期发布的智能地球系统为例，该系统融合数十年地理建模经验与多模态推理能力，可将原本需要数年的环境分析压缩至分钟级完成。其地理空间推理技术能自动关联气象预报、人口分布与卫星图像，助力社区提前预判干旱期沙尘暴风险。

二、透视生态演变轨迹
研究人员运用物种分布模型绘制高精度生物栖息地地图，为濒危物种保护提供决策依据。最新发布的首个森林砍伐风险预测数据集，通过深度学习模型实现毁林预警，将生态保护从被动应对转向主动预防。

三、赋能在地保护行动
通过"森林聆听者"等公民科学项目，公众可协助科学家识别雨林生物声纹，训练人工智能模型监测生物多样性。同时，基金会正支持巴西八个环保组织运用AI技术开展亚马逊野火预测、环境DNA生物图谱绘制等工作。

值得关注的是，该体系在推进技术落地时特别注重本地化应用，通过与一线保护者合作，使前沿技术真正转化为守护自然的实践力量。在算力设施建设方面，机构承诺通过提升系统能效、投资清洁能源及碳移除项目，负责任地管理技术应用的生态足迹。

正如专家所言，人工智能不仅是工具，更是激发变革的催化剂。当科技智慧与人类守护自然的热情相结合，我们终将见证绿水青山与人类文明交相辉映的未来。

我们如何运用人工智能促进自然与人类和谐繁荣
蓬勃的生态系统孕育繁荣的社区。从餐桌上的食物到经济发展的未来，人类福祉与机遇始终与地球健康紧密相连。

然而这些关键的自然系统正面临威胁。世界自然基金会估算，自1970年以来野生动物种群数量已减少73%，世界经济论坛更将生物多样性丧失列为未来十年全球稳定面临的最大风险之一。

二十余年来，我们通过谷歌地球等工具持续呈现地球的变迁。基于这些积累，我们正全力支持"2030年保护全球30%陆地和海洋"的倡议，运用环境数据与人工智能技术，推动自然与人类协同繁荣。

助力地球保护的三大人工智能实践
我们相信人工智能能赋予全球民众守护自然的力量，以下是三项具体实践：

一、全景呈现地球脉络
看不见则难守护。我们将海量卫星、气候及生态系统数据转化为直观的动态图景，打造前所未有的地球观测技术。

新推出的谷歌地球AI融合数十年全球建模经验与尖端预测模型，搭载Gemini智能推理系统，助力企业、城市及非营利组织深度认知地球。用户仅需数分钟即可获得以往需多年专业研究才能得出的洞察。例如其空间推理功能可联动气象预报、人口分布与卫星影像等数据，自动识别干涸河道，帮助社区预警干旱期沙尘风险并提前防护。

二、洞悉地球时空轨迹
研究人员运用前沿AI技术整合复杂数据，揭示地球的过去、现在与未来。以物种分布建模项目为例，AI绘制的高精度生物栖息地地图，正助力保育专家制定濒危物种及其栖息地的关键保护策略。

AI不仅助力实时感知自然，更赋能未来预测。我们最新发布的研究论文及首套深度学习训练数据集，开创了森林砍伐风险预测先河，为事前干预提供可能。

三、赋能一线守护者
当技术扎根乡土，方能释放最大能量。我们始终与前线的实践者并肩同行，加速他们的保护行动。

通过谷歌艺术与文化推出的"森林听诊"项目，公众可协助科学家辨识巴西雨林录音中的生物踪迹，用听觉数据训练DeepMind模型，推动雨林生物多样性的监测与修复。谷歌公益基金会还支持八家巴西机构运用AI预测亚马逊野火、开展环境DNA生物多样性测绘等工作。

这些实践延续着我们践行AI惠世的承诺：通过提升系统能效、投资清洁能源、支持尖端碳移除项目，在减轻环境足迹的同时，为社区与生态系统创造协同效益。

How we’re using AI to help nature and people flourish together
Thriving ecosystems power thriving communities. From the food we eat to the future of our economies, human wellbeing and opportunity are deeply tied to the health of our planet.
But these vital natural systems are at risk. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that wildlife populations have declined by 73% since 1970, and the World Economic Forum ranks biodiversity loss as one of the greatest risks to global stability over the next ten years.
For more than two decades, we’ve been providing a clearer view of our changing planet with tools like Google Earth and Google Earth Engine. Building on that foundation, we’re working harder than ever to help support the worldwide initiative to protect and conserve 30% of the planet’s land and oceans by 2030 (30x30), leveraging environmental data and AI technologies to help nature and people flourish together.
Three ways we’re accelerating global action for our planet
We believe AI offers a tremendous opportunity to empower people everywhere to protect and restore nature. Here are three ways we're helping.

1. Visualizing our planet and connecting the dots
   You can't protect what you can't see. We're building technologies that can give everyone an unprecedented view of our planet by turning petabytes of satellite, climate and ecosystem data into a single, consistent picture of change.
   Our recently-launched Google Earth AI is built on decades modeling the world, combined with state of the art predictive models and Gemini’s advanced reasoning capabilities, enabling enterprises, cities and nonprofits to achieve deeper understanding of our planet. In minutes, users can create powerful insights that previously required complex analytics and years of research. For example, EarthAI’s Geospatial Reasoning capability can automatically connect different models — like weather forecasts, population maps and satellite imagery — to tackle complex analyses like spotting where a river has dried up to help communities predict the risk of dust storms during a drought and take action to prepare in advance.
2. Understanding the past, present and future of our planet
   Our researchers are using cutting-edge AI approaches to synthesize complex data and reveal new insights into the past, present and future of our planet. Our Species Distribution Modeling project, for example, uses AI to create high-resolution maps of where species live, helping conservationists make critical decisions like how to best protect endangered wildlife and their habitats.
   In addition to helping us better understand the natural world in real-time, AI is also enabling us to forecast its future. For example, we just released a new paper and the first dataset dedicated to training deep learning models to predict deforestation risk, opening the door to opportunities to prevent deforestation before it happens.
3. Putting technology in the hands of local experts
   We believe technology’s greatest potential is realized when it empowers local communities and puts powerful tools in the hands of those who can drive on-the-ground impact. That's why we partner with people on the front lines to help accelerate their work.
   Through Google Arts & Culture’s Forest Listeners experiment, we’re inviting everyone to help scientists identify hidden species by listening to sounds from Brazil’s rainforests and classifying the data they hear to help train Google DeepMind’s AI model. This helps enable measurement, preservation and restoration of the rainforests’ biodiversity. And through Google.org, we’re supporting eight Brazilian organizations who are using AI to do everything from predicting Amazonian wildfires to mapping biodiversity with eDNA.
   These efforts build on our commitment to deliver the benefits of AI for people and the planet while managing its environmental footprint responsibly — by continuing to improve efficiency across our AI systems, investing in next-generation clean energy sources, and supporting carbon removal projects that push the frontier of science and technology to help restore the atmosphere while creating co-benefits for local communities and ecosystems.
