By documenting plant health and growth patterns, citizen scientists help identify early signs of disease, drought, or invasive species. With the help of applications like PlantNet AI, which is another citizen science project, long-term data can be analyzed to predict outbreaks and environmental stressors, enabling proactive solutions to maintain the health of entire ecosystems.
Tracking environmental shifts caused by climate change, pollution, or natural disasters provides crucial data. AI technology can process long-term patterns and real-time changes, alerting researchers to sudden ecosystem disruptions and offering predictive insights for better disaster response and resource management.
Observing wildlife habitats and population dynamics is essential for protecting biodiversity. AI tools can analyze collected footage and data, identifying trends in species behavior and population changes. This allows us to react quickly to potential threats to endangered species and develop smarter conservation strategies over time.
Using your handheld smartphone device works perfectly! Simply record footage of the area, getting close-ups of key areas, vegetation, changes you notice etc.
We’re looking for both Part 107 drone operators and recreational pilots. Whether you’re flying an advanced drone with topographic mapping and air-sensing technology or fly your drone with skill recreationally, you can contribute valuable aerial footage to the project. Learn More
