The Internet of Forest initiative
The collaboration between Satellogic and O.N.E. Amazon hopes to accelerate the realization of the Internet of Forests (IoF) initiative.
At its core, the IoF aims to establish a large-scale sensor network, complemented by advanced machine intelligence infrastructure, to monitor critical variables within the Amazon rainforest.
“Satellogic’s mission is to monitor the planet to help solve the Earth’s most pressing issues. We understand the importance of initiatives like the O.N.E. Amazon project, and we are happy to support the IoF,” stated Matt Tirman, President of Satellogic.
The partnership is driven by a mutual recognition of the significance of leveraging advanced earth-mapping technology to achieve the IoF’s objectives.
“Tokenization of the Amazon rainforest requires a granular assessment of environmental and social conditions within a given area of land. We believe Satellogic’s state-of-the-art earth-mapping technology will play a key role in the success of IoF,” emphasized Rodrigo Veloso, CEO of O.N.E. Amazon.
With a focus on enhancing environmental awareness, fostering scientific analysis, and promoting sustainable practices within local communities, the Internet of Forests initiative holds the promise of catalyzing positive change in the preservation of the Amazon rainforest.
