Protecting the Amazon

Deforestation is threatening the survival of millions of species that make their home in the Amazon rainforest. Project Guacamaya is fighting to preserve the rainforest with AI by looking at daily pictures of Earth taken with satellites, observing animal behavior from within the rainforest with hidden cameras, and listening to forest sounds with tiny microphones. AI helps spot changes to monitor deforestation while identifying images and sounds, allowing scientists to protect biodiversity faster than ever before. Empowered by the AI for Good Lab, the future of the Amazon is changing for the better.
