Project "Space Cows" will utilise Indigenous knowledge, science, and technology to monitor feral animals in the top end of Australia. Using Artificial Intelligence, and space technology, it's something that has never been done on this scale before.


Space Cows.   That's the name of the new project that will join the minds of Traditional Owners in the Northern Territory, scientists from Australia's national science agency C-S-I-R-O and trillion dollar company Microsoft.    While it sounds like they'll be sending cows to space - they're not - but the project is still intriguing:   Unmanaged feral cattle and buffaloes will be surveyed from space, using satellite technology.
