 eaturing Prof. Juan Serpa alongside Mariapaz Pajares Burns and Nikki Tye\,
  alumni of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøDesautels' Costa Rica Study Trip.\n	\n	In this talk\, Prof
 . Serpa will discuss two related initiatives in his work on AI and biodive
 rsity.\n	\n	The first initiative is the Data Mangrove\, a sustainability dat
 a hub that partners researchers with NGOs in Latin America. Prof. Serpa wi
 ll explain how AI is being used to build monkey bridges in Costa Rica\, pr

 ote research papers\, and explore funding and job opportunities in sustain
 ability. This hub enables data-driven collaboration across sustainability 
 disciplines. This session will introduce the hub’s features and invite res
