2Technology That's SOLVING Deforestation From SPACE..
Welcome back to Tech Vault, today on the channel we are going to talk about The Space tech helping to tackle deforestation + other related news. Conservationist, Leonidas Nzigiyimpa says "you can't manage what you don't know". He adds: "In order to improve the situation of forests, we need to use new technology." Mr Nzigiyimpa is the chief warden of five protected forestry areas in the small central African country of Burundi. For the past two decades, he and his team have been working with local communities to protect and manage the forest. His face lights up when he describes the fresh smell and beauty of the areas. "It's pure nature," he says. In carrying out his work, Mr Nzigiyimpa has to consider a range of factors, from monitoring the impact of human actions and economies, to tracking biodiversity and the impact of climate change, plus staff numbers and budgets.
To help him track and record all of this, he now uses the latest version of a free piece of software called the Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool. The tool was developed specifically for such environmental work by a project called Biopama (Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme). This is supported by both the European Union and the 79 member state Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. "So, we use this kind of tool to train the managers of the site to use it to collect good data, and to analyse this data, in order to take good decisions," says Mr Nzigiyimpa. Tracking and protecting the world's forests is not just important for the local communities and economies most directly affected. Deforestation contributes to climate change so restoring forests could help combat it. Some 10 million hectares (25 million acres) of the world's forests are lost every year, according to the United Nations.
