VIENNA, OCT 9 – Chinese technology giant Huawei held an event in Austria yesterday to showcase how its technology is helping biodiversity conservation in one of Austria’s national parks.
Since 2021, Huawei has been working with the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park and the University of Vienna to protect biodiversity in the park, which has been significantly affected by water level fluctuations driven by climate change.
Using acoustic devices and artificial intelligence (AI), Huawei monitors changes in the park’s habitat and wildlife, providing data to support ecological research.
This initiative is part of Huawei’s wider TECH4ALL programme, launched in 2019 to promote inclusion and sustainability through innovative technology.
Celebrating TECH4ALL’s 5th anniversary at the event, Tony Jin, executive vice president of Huawei Europe, emphasized the importance of their environmental efforts in Austria, which houses one of the company’s major conservation projects.
Jin emphasized Huawei’s commitment to mitigating climate change, protecting endangered species and increasing the resilience of fragile ecosystems. He also emphasized the company’s contribution to habitat restoration and sustainable resource management in national parks.
Austriam’s former Chancellor Christian Kern praised Huawei’s initiative, noting that Austria is proud to host this technology-driven effort to tackle climate change and protect biodiversity. “Combining cutting-edge innovation with a deep commitment to sustainability is the solution,” said Kern.
Researchers from the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park and the University of Vienna also shared their latest findings at the event, providing valuable insights for future conservation efforts.
Huawei’s TECH4ALL project has been used in more than 50 nature reserves in 20 countries, further advancing global environmental protection. – Xinhua
