Biologists all over the world use camera traps to monitor biodiversity and population density of animal species. We have recently been making strides towards automatic species classification in camera trap images, and in iWildCam 2020 we focused on generalization to novel camera locations across the globe. However, in order to estimate the abundance and density of species in camera trap data, biologists need to know how many of each species was seen. \nStart Date - 10 March 2021\nEnd Date - 28th May 2021\nKaggle URL - https://www.kaggle.com/c/iwildcam2021-fgvc8\n\n\n##### Plant Pathology Challenge 2021\nThe main objectives of the competition is to develop machine learning-based models; 1) To accurately classify the given leaf image from the test dataset to particular disease category, 2) To develop an algorithm for accurate estimation of disease severity of each image/disease category; and 3) To identify individual disease from multiple disease symptoms on a single leaf image. \nStart Date - March 15, 2021\nEnd Date - May 26, 2021\nKaggle URL - https://www.kaggle.com/c/plant-pathology-2021-fgvc8",
