This is from a few months ago but really interesting work from some university students that trained a popular machine learning model on data from iNaturalist.nz. The app is pretty good at identifying endemic species. The entire model is installed with the app which means that it works offline.

This reminds me of an NZ Birds app that disappeared a few years ago that I used to love. It had recordings of their calls which was wonderful.
