Using AI to optimise our 阿兹森林 reforestation programme in Africa

阿兹森林 Kenya project to use AI to analyse and monitor tree growth

The reforestation project in Kenya will span six counties in the west of the country, 与裂谷相邻, 覆盖3个以上,500公顷土地. The project will be amongst the first to use an advanced AI deep learning model to analyse drone footage and satellite imagery to monitor tree growth and health, 同时也量化了碳封存的水平.³

利用新技术创新, 该计划旨在促进树木的长期健康, 增加动植物的生物多样性, 并促进当地社区的经济发展.

重新造林，支持气候行动

The role nature-based solutions can play in addressing the climate crisis is a top agenda item at COP28, with the climate summit placing a focus on the progress made since the Glasgow Declaration of COP26 to end deforestation.^4,5 New research has underlined the impact that reforestation and the protection of existing trees can have in tackling climate change, 可能吸收多达226亿吨的碳.³

朱丽叶·白, 全球可持续发展副总裁, 澳门葡京网赌游戏, 他说:“地球和人类健康之间的联系是显而易见的. Investing in our natural world through tree planting and conservation, 限制森林砍伐, are some of the most effective preventative health steps we can take. 通过将AZ森林扩展到肯尼亚, we are progressing our commitment to deliver reforestation at scale, with a science-led approach that benefits both the environment and local communities.”

与种植专家共同设计

We are working with world-leading experts to design and deliver our AZ森林计划 including with Earthbanc and the Green Planet Initiative 2050 Foundation (GPI2050) for the Kenya project. Indigenous and productive tree species will improve soil health and local crop yields, while produce including leaves and honey will benefit the local agroeconomy. 5人以上,000 local farmers and local community members will be engaged in this project, which also aims to support a groundbreaking reforestation ambition from the Kenyan 政府ernment.⁶

肯尼亚共和国第一夫人雷切尔·鲁托阁下, said: “Climate change affects us all and tackling it requires concerted action from 政府ernments, 个人, 和业务. We welcome 澳门葡京网赌游戏’s approach to reforestation: working with local communities to ensure economic benefits for people that match the positive impact on the planet. This initiative will contribute towards Kenya’s goal to plant 15 billion trees over the next decade.”

汤姆邓肯, 首席执行官, Earthbanc, said: “This land regeneration project in Kenya is a very exciting opportunity that we are pleased to support in collaboration with our partners. Earthbanc is committed to bringing private sector climate finance to accelerate and scale reforestation to meet the challenge of climate change. The 阿兹森林 initiative brings significant co-benefits with its focus on circular bioeconomy, 可持续社区, 生态系统健康和可持续市场. We are looking forward to this project launch and demonstrating that we can all play a part in the global effort towards planetary regeneration.”

当地社区在AZ森林的中心

除了肯尼亚, AZ森林全球计划的目标是跨越100年,000公顷的土地仍在快速增长.¹ 在加纳, almost three million trees have been planted this year taking the total to over four million since the project began in 2021.⁷ 该项目涉及23个社区的1200名农民. 在卢旺达的时候, 6,有000户农户报名参加了这个项目, with 16 community nurseries established to grow a range of indigenous and fruit tree species. Planting is set to start in the coming months with a target to plant around 5.800万棵树横跨21,000公顷, in what is one of the largest forest restoration initiatives in Rwanda.
