Machine learning on satellite imagery is changing conservation, but not how you think
Q1We've built a system that detects deforestation from satellite imagery within 48 hours — compared to the months it takes for official government surveys. But the technology itself isn't the breakthrough. The real change is who gets this information first. When local indigenous communities have the same monitoring capability as government agencies, the power dynamic shifts completely.
Q2Exactly. We've learned that a 95% accurate model delivered to communities through WhatsApp alerts is more impactful than a 99.5% accurate model locked in a research paper. Actionability matters more than accuracy.
