PROTECTING THE FOREST – DETECTING INTRUSION

- Phones listen to the forest- Realtime alert with GPS coordinate

with Rainforest Connection


USING DRONE FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION

- Trajectory + surveillance in the zone – recording – stop deforestation.- Automated diffusion of live images showing the lodgers on social network, media,

authorities…


2 - REFORESTING DAMAGED AREAS


REFORESTING DAMAGED AREAS

- Soil analysis – cartography


REFORESTING DAMAGED AREAS - Choice and preparation of local species following Dr. Akira

MIYAWAKI method

Canopy layer

Tree layer

Sub-tree layer

Shrub layer



- 6 drones fleet



- Precise dispersion of the seeds without electricity


3 - MONITORING


MONITORING THE PLANTATIONS


COMMUNITY AWARENESS

Alternate reality gameto protect and reforest the planet


NEXT STEPS

- Looking for finances

- Prototype

- Use case in Casamance

- Proof of concept in 2017

- Deployment - scalable project
