Every year Earth loses 18.7 million acres of forests — that’s 27 soccer fields per minute (link to the source). In addition, pollution is ruining our environment. The Polish State Forests pay PLN 20 million annually for cleaning up garbage abandoned illegally in forest areas (link to sources, in Polish). It seems that in 2020, rubbish in the forest is, unfortunately, becoming a real plague. Ewa Guard is a solution that leverages artificial intelligence to automatically analyze photos and video materials to e.g. count young trees, locate illegal garbage dumps, etc. Learn more at www.byteLAKE.com/en/EwaGuard and in a related article: https://medium.com/@marcrojek/counting-trees-locating-illegal-dumping-areas-learn-how-artificial-intelligence-supports-saving-eb256f3fcd33
