SOS Mata Atlantica “exists to protect one of the most endangered forests in the world: the Atlantic Forest and its associated ecosystems and people.” As Brazil’s first AI for Earth grantee, the organization plans to leverage Microsoft’s artificial intelligence technology to improve its clean water initiative. Nearly 3,500 volunteers currently monitor more than 250 rivers throughout the Atlantic Forest, which includes the vast majority of the country’s urban population and its biggest cities. Now, the NGO hopes to evolve from issuing annual reports to sharing more actionable insights – backed by strong data – that could impact public policy and save a precious resource from the ravages of pollution.
