New detection software created at the University of Southampton is using artificial intelligence to fight the illegal trafficking of wildlife.
The FloraGuard project, led by criminologist Dr Anita Lavorgna and computer science lecturer Dr Stuart Middleton, extracts data from hundreds and forums and marketplaces to alert authorities to suspicious behaviour.
The commerce of exotic wild plants has increased in Western countries over the past 60 years, triggering a rise in illegal trades that threaten and destroy numerous species and important natural resources.
The Southampton research, which is partnered with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and the UK Border Force, converts information into charts, diagrams and pictures which can be used in investigations or to trigger new ones.

University of Southampton alumnus Dr Feng Gao has been praised for international leadership in open data at the British Council's Study UK Alumni Awards 2019-20 in Beijing.
Feng has co-founded and directed China's first social enterprise addressing the issue of transparent and open data flow in the five years since completing a PhD in Computer Science at Southampton.
The Open Data China challenge model has led to the release of more than 60 data resources from more than 30 government agencies and enterprises, generating more than 1,000 products, prototypes and entrepreneurial teams with a total value of more than 100 million yuan.
Feng was named the winner of the Professional Achievement Award at last month's ceremony in the Chinese capital, joining previous winners who have distinguished themselves through exemplary leadership in their professional field.
I am honoured to be recognised by the British Council and feel rewarded and motivated to continue what I'm doing, Feng says. My time spent in Southampton was unforgettable and equipped me with the academic skills and attitude to succeed in life. I highly appreciate the fact that Southampton is one of the UK's leading institutes for open data and this led me to work on the issue once I returned to China.
China is facing new opportunities and challenges in embracing the digital economy and one of the contributions Open Data China is looking to make is to help design better data policy and interventions that build an ecosystem to support this exciting agenda.
Feng explored people's food beliefs to design health eating applications during his PhD with Professor m.c. schraefel in Electronics and Computer Sciences Agents, Interaction and Complexity Research Group.
His subsequent publications and talks on open data have been featured globally by media and at conferences. In 2019, he was also named a Yale World Fellow and won China's first 30 New Generation Digital Economy Talents award.
Now in its sixth year, the British Council's Study UK Alumni Awards 2019-20 recognised nine UK alumni in China for excellence as business professionals, entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Matt Burney, Country Director at the British Council in China, said: The Alumni Awards allow us to come together to celebrate to the role international students play in making the UK one of the most diverse, dynamic and rewarding higher education destinations for international study. It also allows us to recognise the achievements and contributions of alumni from China and the world have made to their communities.

A team of Malaysian PhD students has won a global engineering challenge with a sustainable approach to packing dried food products.
The engineers from the University of Southampton Malaysia, University of Malaya and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) have developed a prototype for dissolvable food blocks that would significantly reduce the amount of single-use plastic supermarket packaging.
Team NanoMalaysia was named the Greenpeace scenario winner of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) Global Challenge 2018/19 at this winters IET Innovation Awards in London.
The students' solution, which is made of carrageenan and starch, provides an alternative to plastic packaging for dried, loose foods by protecting the food product until they are boiled in hot water. A clear layer of starch holds the food in place, while the carrageenan a natural ingredient that comes from red seaweed prevents moisture from getting in.
Southampton's Ivan Ling, Project Lead, says: "We are extremely honoured to be chosen as the winner of this prestigious award. One of the recent issues raised by the Malaysian Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change is the dumping of plastic waste and this got us thinking how we could play a role to help solve this. We plan to develop the PICAS block further and hope to have it commercialised in the near future."
The current PICAS block prototype is used to package beans. The team will now expand their scope to test other dried food products that need to be washed and cooked before consumption, including pasta and grains.
Ivan worked for nine months with Malaya's Pauline Phoon Bao Lee and Tan Chin Joo, together with UTP's Ong Chong Cheen, to develop the dissolvable block.
The IET Global Challenge tasked young entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions that can help clean up the estimated 18 billion pounds of increasing plastic waste that enters our oceans every year.
The challenge provided two scenarios partnered with Greenpeace and the GreenSeas Trust. Team Baywatchers from Oxfordshire won this year's GreenSeas Trust scenario with a concept for a crab-like robot that could collect cigarette butts from UK beaches.
The University of Southampton Malaysia was established in 2012 and offers world-class engineering programmes which include the Engineering Foundation Year and undergraduate MEng programmes in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The University offers a unique student experience, students spend their first two years in Malaysia and their final two years in the UK.

Researchers from the University of Southampton have unveiled a web-based solution for IT security compliance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020.
SPYDERISK, a spinout company from Southampton's IT Innovation Centre, launched its software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering today as part of the only UK university exhibit at the world-renowned technology showcase in Las Vegas.
The founders are connecting with early adopters this week on the University's Future Worlds accelerator stand in Eureka Park.
With the average cost of a data breach in the US at USD8m in 2019, the danger of cyber-attacks is increasingly driving companies to obtain compliance certification such as SOC-2 and ISO 27001 and also demand them from their supply chain.
In contrast to other solutions, SPYDERISK automates much of the risk assessment process mandated by SOC-2 and ISO 27001: finding all the threats in a system by following the web of attack paths and considering how one threat can lead to another.
The software calculates risk based on the threat likelihood and business impact, and proposes mitigations drawn from a detailed knowledgebase before generating the reports needed for compliance certification.
Dr Stephen Phillips, Southampton Principal Research Engineer and SPYDERISK founder, says: “This ground-breaking product is a game-changer for enterprises, dramatically reducing the time and cost to understand and manage security threats, to ensure better protection and compliance certification.”
Professor Mike Surridge, Head of Research, says: “I am delighted that seven years of detailed research on modelling risk has produced such a valuable commercial product, and in doing so provides an important defence against the prevalent threats to IT security that face the world today.”
CES 2020 will include over 4,500 exhibiting companies and attract more than 180,000 attendees wanting to see the next generation of consumer technologies.
Graham Stuart MP, Minister for Investment, says: “We are facing increasing global cybersecurity threats and SPYDERISK’s solutions highlight the strength of the UK cyber sector and our world-leading university research. The Department for International Trade is proud to support British innovators as they launch at CES to achieve global impact and change the world with their ideas.”
University startups Radii Devices, a cloud-based design assistant for prosthetists, and Aquark Technologies, which develops miniaturised components for quantum technology, are also exhibiting with Future Worlds at CES 2020.
Ben Clark, Future Worlds Director, says: “The Future Worlds stand at CES proudly puts UK university innovation on the world stage. Our students and academics are turning world-leading research into products that change the world. Exhibiting at CES has helped startups and spinouts from the University of Southampton gain hundreds of commercial leads and secure millions of pounds of investment, and we’re excited to see these latest innovations make global impact in 2020.”
Future Worlds is based in Booths 51733 and 51735 in Eureka Park at the Sands Expo. You can follow daily updates from SPYDERISK and other University entrepreneurs on the Future Worlds website.
