SummaryWildlife is an essential component of all ecosystems. Most places in the globe do not have local, timely information on which species are present or how their populations are changing. With the arrival of new technologies, camera traps have become a popular way to collect wildlife data. However, data collection has increased at a much faster rate than the development of tools to manage, process and analyse these data. Without these tools, wildlife managers and other stakeholders have little information to effectively manage, understand and monitor wildlife populations. We identify four barriers that are hindering the widespread use of camera trap data for conservation. We propose specific solutions to remove these barriers integrated in a modern technology platform called Wildlife Insights. We present an architecture for this platform and describe its main components. We recognize and discuss the potential risks of publishing shared biodiversity data and a framework to mitigate those risks. Finally, we discuss a strategy to ensure platforms like Wildlife Insights are sustainable and have an enduring impact on the conservation of wildlife.

野生动物洞察：一个平台，可最大限度地发挥相机陷阱和其他被动传感器野生动物数据对地球的潜力

摘要野生动物是所有生态系统的重要组成部分。全球大多数地方都没有关于存在哪些物种或它们的种群如何变化的本地、及时的信息。随着新技术的到来，相机陷阱已成为收集野生动物数据的流行方式。然而，与管理、处理和分析这些数据的工具的开发相比，数据收集的增长速度要快得多。如果没有这些工具，野生动物管理者和其他利益相关者就几乎没有信息来有效管理、了解和监测野生动物种群。我们确定了阻碍相机陷阱数据广泛用于保护的四个障碍。我们提出了具体的解决方案，以消除集成在名为 Wildlife Insights 的现代技术平台中的这些障碍。我们提出了这个平台的架构并描述了它的主要组件。我们认识到并讨论了发布共享生物多样性数据的潜在风险以及减轻这些风险的框架。最后，我们讨论了一项战略，以确保像 Wildlife Insights 这样的平台是可持续的，并对野生动物的保护产生持久的影响。
