Forest Defender

💎 Idea

Our main goal is to address the issue of the increasing percentage of deforestation in Romania and even in Europe. We believe that by detecting deforestation early, correlating it with data held by designated organizations responsible for solving these issues in the field, and labeling deforestation as legal or illegal, we can make progress in improving the situation.

As part of our training, we have used a dataset from the paper linked in the presentations, which contains images from the Amazonian rain forest, taken by Sentinel 2.
