+<strong>Description</strong>
+
+This model is trained on &gt; 2.8 million camera trap images from diverse ecosystems across eastern and southern Africa. Covering 328 categories, primarily at the species level, it supports taxonomic fallback, predicting higher-level taxa (e.g., genus or family) when species-level certainty is low. The model is designed for wildlife identification across savannas, dry forests, arid shrublands, and semi-desert habitats. Training data includes images from South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Madagascar, and Uganda. All training images are open-source and available via LILA BC (https://lila.science/).
