Abstract
In 2015, Canada, the United States, and Mexico signed a letter of intent to protect the continent's migratory bats. In charting a path for protecting bats, we look to the century of efforts to protect birds. Despite a barrage of obstacles, millions of migratory birds still cross North America each year. One key reason for their survival has been international cooperation. The past year marks the 100th anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty between Canada and the United States, as well as the 80th anniversary of a similar agreement between the United States and Mexico. These treaties were based on the practical benefits from migratory birds—values today known as ecosystem services. Migratory bats also provide significant natural benefits to people; a fully fledged international convention on migratory bats would not only protect these benefits but would also celebrate a century of transborder cooperation to conserve migratory species in North America.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
