2.                       Develop Human-Inspired AI Models 

3.                       Build and Use High-Quality Animal Behaviour Datasets 

4.                       Generate Scientific Ground-Truths for AI Training 

5.                       Test and Validate the AI Models 

6.                       Engage Citizens and Stakeholders 

7.                       Communicate and Disseminate the Results
