WildlifeLookup: A Chatbot Facilitating Wildlife Management with Accessible Data and Insights

Wildlife management is increasingly reliant on data-driven insights to address the impacts of climate change on species and ecosystems. However, the complexity of accessing and querying large, multimodal datasets often limits the ability of non-technical users, such as wildlife managers and conservationists, to make informed decisions. To address this challenge, we present WildlifeLookup, a public accessible, intelligent chatbot designed to facilitate natural language interaction with a novel knowledge graph (KN-Wildlife) that houses critical wildlife and environmental data. WildlifeLookup simplifies access to species distributions, habitat interactions, and climate-related events by converting user queries into precise graph queries, reducing the technical barriers for end users.
