🌳 Restoring forests, protecting ecosystems with early wildfire detection. Hawai‘i’s native forests are under threat from wildfires, especially in dry regions. Terraformation, a leader in global reforestation projects, has partnered with Dryad Networks to safeguard their Pacific Flight restoration site in Hawai‘i using Silvanet technology. 🇺🇸 Highlights from this partnership include: • Early detection of wildfires through AI-powered sensors. • Seamless integration with existing systems for real-time monitoring. • Enhanced forest management insights with environmental data like air quality, humidity, and temperature. Dryad Networks offers the world’s first ultra-early wildfire detection system with solar-powered IoT sensors and mesh networking, providing unmatched scalability, precision, and reliability even in remote, off-grid areas. 🔗 Learn how innovation meets reforestation: https://lnkd.in/e8wdFKTf #wildfireprevention #iot #forestry #sustainability #climatechange #innovation #reforestation #biodiversity #wildfiretechnology #environment #forestmanagement #techforsustainability #wildlifepreservation #smartforests #carbonreduction #smarttech #greeninnovation #fireprotection #climateaction #sustainabletech

In case you missed it, our partner, Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, has successfully implemented Dryad’s Silvanet wildfire detection system in France, drawing positive feedback from this pilot project in the heart of Colorado Provençal. 🇫🇷 A multidisciplinary team, from design experts to network installers, came together to support this effort to protect high-risk forest areas. Paul De los Santos, from Eiffage, highlights the goal: “Preserving biodiversity by detecting fires at their earliest signs.” The system’s 59 sensors monitor key indicators like carbon monoxide, temperature, and humidity, enabling fast responses through AI-driven detection. This collaboration strengthens natural site protection, preserving biodiversity and ensuring visitor safety. 🌲

Wildfire Detection Case Studies 🌍🌱🔥 Across the globe, Dryad Networks is advancing forest conservation with our ultra-early wildfire detection system, Silvanet. These case studies highlight our commitment to environmental preservation across diverse landscapes. From safeguarding the rich biodiversity at Marsden Moor in the UK with National Trust to enhancing wildfire detection in Hawaii’s reforestation zones (Terraformation) and rapidly responding to unauthorized fires in Lebanon (mada communications), our Silvanet technology is redefining wildfire mitigation. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇱🇧 Each partnership showcases how our sensors protect forests, mitigate risks, and strengthen local ecosystems.
