Seeker Media and Vox Media, LLC.

Planted high in jungle treetops, used cell phones powered by small solar panels record and upload the surrounding sounds of the landscape. In real-time, the audio is analyzed by AI software that can recognize chainsaws, logging trucks, and other signs of illegal logging nearby and notify locals of the problem. This project by Rainforest Connection is helping to put a stop to illegal logging in Indonesia and 11 other countries.
