Prince Charles once said, “Forests are the air-conditioning system, the lungs of the planet; and we are on the verge of switching it off.” We always plan trips to the mountains, hill stations and nature treks, but have you ever wondered if we would be able to do that 30 years from now? Forests are being cut down every day, and even though we’re planting new trees to make up for it, it’s not even coming close to covering the losses.
We all know that forests are essential for the survival and sustenance of life. They are the source of many direct and indirect benefits. They need to be managed in such a way that when we extract benefits, we make sure that resources are not being depleted. Their growth should be our top priority so that greater benefits are derived from them.
But how do we step towards a greener and sustainable future when our forest resources are depleting this fast? We turn towards Smart technology. Okay, you might think “Not every country has the means and resources to protect its flora and fauna with whatever the most advanced tech there is.”
You’re probably right.
But that’s why people are talking about it so much these days. You see, when the citizens of a country are well-read about environmental issues, they raise their voices, and when the public raises its voice, the government takes steps towards a better plan. We now have the means to cut down on our carbon emissions and save the planet. Then what are we waiting for?
What our next step should be: Implementation of Smart Forest systems. Industries and NGOs should aim for parameters such as conservation of forest, production of the right kinds of firewood and bamboo (as it creates income sources for tribal communities), cultivation of medicinal and fruit plants and maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, to name a few.
At Arnowa, we’re working hard towards a greener and sustainable tomorrow. Our forest management solution puts to work a multitude of smart sensors and integrates their data with an image and video analytics platform to build robust models. These models detect devastating situations such as forest fires, and illegal logging. I bet you never thought Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, could have a green thumb, right? Along with the real-time alerts generated, Arnowa’s ecosystems also help maintain forest health by monitoring forest fires, pest infestation, fuel loads, and soil health with the help of powerful analytics. This helps proper management in sustaining forest resources and their proper utilisation.
Unique Features that our real-time sensors offer:
- Real-time monitoring and fire alerts
- AI, ML, image processing and video analytics
- Monitoring of endangered species
- Integrated Solar PV and Battery for independent operation
