🌎 Exploring the heartbeat of our planet, one community at a time! In celebration of #EarthDay, our #GoLocal series dives deep into the innovative ways grassroots movements are leveraging technology and AI to combat the #climatecrisis. This week, we dive into the heart of Canada's local movements:
🌲 Alberta has emerged as a pioneer in battling wildfires by employing AI to enhance decision-making. This innovative approach utilizes over three decades of wildfire data to predict occurrences and factor in carbon emissions, climate change, and human behaviour, ultimately aiding firefighting efforts.
🌊 AI technology, known as "Salmon Vision," is revolutionizing salmon counting accuracy, which is crucial for conservation efforts and making informed fishing decisions. Developed through a collaboration between conservation groups, Simon Fraser University, and First Nations, this innovation promises to enhance data quality, governance, and management of salmon stocks, offering hope for struggling fish populations amid declining stocks and illegal fishing activities.
