Global Nominee

The Challenge | Warming Planet, Cool Ideas

Your challenge is to examine existing space and Earth projects and systems and adapt them into specific technologies that help stabilize or improve the Earth’s weather, and/or eliminate processes that cause global warming. Your solution could be a technology, a movement, an idea – let your imagination have no bounds!

We are working on a Solution to reduce the deforestation problem. As its a burning issue in recent days. We come up with an innovative solution to plant a tree using a UAV.

Problem: Our earth is on the brink of destruction. known as lungs of the earth like amazon forest and others are decaying day by day. Our fertile land is also getting hampered by the continuous constructional workplace that is being developed. We're losing 18.7 million acres of forests annually, equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute. About 20 percent of the Amazon forest has already been divested and in process of more harm than good. If current deforestation levels proceed, the world's rainforests may completely vanish in as little as 100 years, according to National Geographic. It is estimated that more than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released to the atmosphere due to deforestation, mainly the cutting and burning of forests, every year. iceberg melts in the waters off Antarctica. Climate change has accelerated the rate of ice loss across the continent. As sea levels rise, salty ocean waters encroach into the world. Native plants and animals struggle to adapt to changing conditions. Every year, up to 5,000 orangutans die at the hands of deforestation. Fewer than 80,000 of these animals survive today, their habitats under constant threat of deforestation.

Solution: we are working on a system that will allow us to protect the kind of disaster and the name of the system is SEED SOURCE. This system which we are working on will allow us to replant the plants which were burnt on the fire or some other reasons. We are using a UAV system which will allow us to allocate the number of seeds that are needed to regrow the forest. And the places which already defrosted, by using seed balls it can be turned into forestry again and also the number of trees can be increased. We will collect the longitude and latitude of the area covered by our UAV.Also, there is an app where using NASA’s image data we will show what's the current state of land as well as aware people about deforestation. There will be a prediction shown by the UAV working on a specific area of how many days may be needed to bring balance in that specific environment. Users can capture the image/video of them using the seed balls to plant trees and share those in our social platform that will be rewarded nationally.

Benefit:

With this project, we will solve four major problems.

1. Our deforestation rate will be minimized.

2. The lungs of the earth like the Amazon forest can be back again...

3. Aquatic and ground biodiversity will be protected

4. The effect of carbon dioxide will be minimized.

Technology:

1. UAV

2. Seeding Mechanism

3. GPS tracking & Navigation System

4. Android native app

5.R language for Deep learning
