Partner highlight: Mombak is the biggest reforestation firm in Brazil that’s targeted on carbon elimination, and they’re utilizing machine studying and information science to reforest degraded areas of the Amazon with native, various tree species.
Why it issues: Restoring pure ecosystems is a large alternative to make use of expertise that existed lengthy earlier than we did — photosynthesis — to take away carbon from the environment. Industrial-scale approaches that mix the perfect of science and expertise, like Mombak’s, can assist pull out huge portions of carbon from the environment. We’re additionally working to scale nature-based options by means of the Symbiosis Coalition, which we co-founded last year to construct a marketplace for different rigorously measured, high-impact reforestation projects.
How AI can assist: AI-powered applied sciences are enabling extra correct measurement of how a lot carbon is saved in forests, in addition to ongoing monitoring and administration of carbon shares, reductions and removals in forest, peatland, and different ecosystems. Tools like Google Earth AI and Earth Engine are enabling Earth Observation evaluation and Geospatial AI with information, fashions, and deep studying for social and environmental influence.
