Can artificial intelligence save the forests?

Can artificial intelligence save the forests?

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised numerous sectors, from medicine to industry. But can it really help save forests and improve their management? In our new YouTube video we explore how AI is being applied to forest conservation, with a focus on the current project in the Bosco Canoro, Veneto.

A fragile forest: the challenge of diversity

 

The Bosco Canoro is a backdune environment located behind the beaches of Bibione, in the province of Venice. This ecosystem, fundamental for local biodiversity, is threatened by the lack of diversification of tree species. The predominance of black pine and stone pine makes the forest more vulnerable to disease, extreme weather events and loss of biodiversity. To ensure its resilience, it is necessary to reduce the pine cover and encourage the growth of other species.
This forest is part of the European LIFE ClimatePositive project, which aims to enhance the services and products generated by forests by field-testing innovative techniques to improve CO2 absorption and promote sustainability.

How AI helps monitor and improve the forest

 

Artificial intelligence is transforming forest monitoring, making it more accurate and efficient. Using technologies such as LiDAR, detailed 3D models of the forest can be obtained to measure tree height and volume, analyse forest structure and monitor changes over time. Satellite images combined with AI make it possible to detect changes in vegetation, recognise diseases and plan targeted interventions. In addition, digital twins create virtual replicas of the forest, enabling remote analysis by other foresters or educational activities.

The future of forest management

 

L’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale nella gestione dei boschi non solo migliora la precisione del monitoraggio, ma aiuta anche a prendere decisioni più informate. Tuttavia, la tecnologia da sola non basta: siamo noi persone, con la nostra conoscenza ed esperienza, a interpretare i dati, a definire strategie e a scegliere le azioni migliori per la tutela delle foreste. L’AI è uno strumento potente, ma la responsabilità rimane nostra garantendo che venga utilizzata in modo etico e sostenibile, per il bene dell’ambiente e delle generazioni future.
