Challenge Area:
Deforestation monitoring.
Problem Statement:
Illegal logging in protected forests goes undetected due to limited monitoring capacity.
Solution Concept:
Develop an AI system that analyzes satellite imagery and audio sensors to detect deforestation activities in real-time, alerting authorities.
Expected Impact:
Protect 100,000 hectares of forest annually.
Next Steps:
Build anomaly detection models, integrate with satellite data APIs, and partner with environmental agencies.
Challenge Area:
Deforestation
Problem Statement:
Deforestation monitoring is slow, delaying conservation efforts.
Solution Concept:
Build an AI-powered deforestation detection system using satellite imagery and CNNs to identify cleared areas. The PoC includes data quality checks for image resolution and scalable processing pipelines.
Expected Impact:
Speeds up detection by 50%, saving 1 million+ hectares of forest annually.
Next Steps:
Add drone support, integrate with NGO platforms, and enhance real-time monitoring.
