The challenge: stopping forest fires

Providing appropriate information in the shortest possible time to relevant entities fighting fires will make fires a problem easy to control and prevent.

the reason: great loss of biodiversity

From 2002 to 2023, Cochabamba lost 127 kha of humid primary forest, representing 46% of its total tree cover loss in the same period...

How it will be done: With Real-time Maps and AI
