Wildlife trafficking and human–wildlife conflict are major causes of species decline. The illegal nature wildlife makes it hard, sometimes dangerous, to study. ‘Mansión Mascota’ is a veterinary clinic in Guayaquil, Ecuador, which, through agreement with the Ecuadorian Ministry Environment, receives confiscated for treatment. Mansión Mascota also injured abandoned brought by authorities public. Between January 2018 September 2022, received 3212 wild animals from ≥171 taxa, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians. Through classification records based on reported use, native distribution, evidence capture/pet keeping, we were able classify 1127 68 as subject trafficking. Turtles most abundant group (69%). majority turtles (91%) primates (80%) Amazonian origin, whereas 90% psittacines 97% carnivores had potential coastal origins. Threatened conservation-dependent common traffic. Furthermore, ≥955 106 due anthropogenic conflict. Trafficking, combined high number animals, highlights synergistic threats facing Ecuador.

The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires present critical challenges to ecosystems, human safety, property underline the inefficiency traditional methods fire detection management. This chapter will how integration between DL IoT could give way a revolution in ecology by providing innovative tools for real-time prediction, detection, monitoring, response. DL, particular, through Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks, looks into terabytes data ranging from historical weather patterns topography predict assess wildfire risks. aids this with that emanates network sensors, drones, cameras spread across susceptible areas. synergy therefore offers more accurate, timely, proactive Future technologies focus on 5G, blockchain, advanced robotics resilient management strategies.
