WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature)

Problem

• Wildfires can pose threats to ecosystems throughout the world, but in South America, the effects of deforestation can be particularly severe.
  organizations like WWF Bolivia and FAN constantly seek to improve their threat-modelling capabilities.

Solution

• Unit8 joined forces with WWF and Bolivian FAN NGO to leverage technology to help predict the spread of wildfires
  Our key objective was to identify and implement technological solutions that could supplement the existing work of WWF and FAN in the detection, modeling, and elimination of wildfire threats.

Impact

• The goal of the collaboration is to obtain faster reaction times to help authorities decide which zones and communities should be evacuated, and when.
