Bunjil A social network for proactive monitoring of tropical rainforests
journal contribution
posted on 2017-05-01, 05:19 authored by Goodman, ChrisA tool is proposed to help protect tropical rainforests through early detection of deforestation. The solution automates delivery of the latest satellite images into a collaborative geographic social network. This connects local conservation groups in remote tropical regions with a network of volunteers who share the timely analysis of satellite images. Volunteers are prompted to review the latest images of an area from various sources and mark-up any recent changes observed, such as new roads or clearings. The solution captures the coordinates and sends concise reports to the local group to respond to the observed threats.The solution is called Bunjil Forest Watch.
