Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data is opening new pathways for biodiversity conservation, particularly in collaboration between China and Latin America [1][2]. Group 1: Technology Application - The South China National Botanical Garden plans to apply artificial intelligence and other new technologies to biodiversity conservation efforts in collaboration with Peru [1]. - A biodiversity observation and identification application called BioGrid, developed by the South China National Botanical Garden, is intended to be promoted in Peru and throughout Latin America [1]. - The application of artificial intelligence models will enhance habitat and ecosystem assessments, enabling real-time monitoring of changes in various ecosystems [3]. Group 2: Biodiversity in Peru - Peru is a significant genetic resource, being the origin of many staple crops and home to three major ecosystems: the Andes, the Amazon rainforest, and the Pacific desert [1]. - The economic development level in Peru is relatively low, leading to insufficient biodiversity research, making it a priority for collaboration [2]. - Collaborative research has been ongoing since 2010, focusing on the genetic diversity and conservation strategies for the Andean queen pineapple [2]. Group 3: Urgency of Biodiversity Protection - The urgency of biodiversity protection in Latin America is highlighted due to climate change impacts, such as glacier retreat in the Andes, which threatens local biodiversity, agriculture, and water security [2]. - Latin American countries are primarily engaged in basic biodiversity research, with significant gaps in genomics and biodiversity monitoring [3]. - The application of new technologies is expected to enhance data collection and species identification capabilities, supporting long-term biodiversity conservation efforts [4].
