Session: How We Can Save the Rainforests with AI
Our planet is facing a global crisis: climate change. Huawei and Rainforest Connection (RFCx) have partnered to create a collaborative and innovative solution to help fight climate change in unexpected ways. RFCx is leveraging the Huawei Cloud and ModelArts to expand its AI solution, Guardians, to stop illegal logging and learn about biodiversity in real-time. This year RFCx has developed 15 additional partnerships with local governments and organizations around the globe to deploy its Guardians technology. This work has proven that we already have a lot of the technology and intelligence we need for the fight against climate change. It is now a matter of developing the – sometimes unconventional – solutions that will make a difference in this challenging and crucial fight.Key Takeaways
- • The world’s rainforests are some of the most important, life-sustaining natural resources on the planet. Joy will outline what is at risk if we don’t take action.
- • Rainforest Connection’s Guardians technology leverages upcycled phones, advanced technology and innovative problem-solving. Joy will discuss how this AI solution creates a high-precision model that can detect 96% of chainsaw events.
- • Installing a Guardian is a truly special experience. Joy will share what it’s like to climb far up into the trees to install a Guardian and how tech and nature can be a harmonious combination.
- • While Guardians technology is helping prevent illegal logging, how else can this technology boost environmental protection efforts? Joy will speak about the impact of Guardians technology and how it’s being applied to endangered species protection.
