Mapping Species distribution in space and time using social network site geotagged photos

Climate change is affecting the environment and threatening the insect pollinators we need for one third of human food production. To understand these changes, we need fine-scale monitoring of insects, flowering plants and habitats worldwide. We cannot fulfil this need with manual labour. However, data posted on social network sites might help meet our requirements. Here I show how to extract useful insights on pollinators and flowering plants from social network site photos. Since these photos were not posted for scientific research, there are many challenges involved. I show how to solve these challenges using recent Artificial Intelligence software.
