Deforestation and Its Environmental Impacts:

Deforestation, the permanent removal of trees for various purposes, poses

severe environmental consequences:

Disrupting the Carbon Cycle:

Deforestation releases stored carbon from trees into the atmosphere as

carbon dioxide, contributing significantly to climate change.

Altering Global Temperatures:

Trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide.

Deforestation releases this stored carbon, contributing to around 10% of
global warming.

Changing Weather Patterns:

Tropical forests play a crucial role in regulating climate by moving water

from soil to the air. Deforestation disrupts this process, leading to increased
temperatures and alterations in rainfall patterns, resulting in a drier climate.

REAL-TIME MONITORING AND
E A R LY WA R N I N G :
•AI quickly checks satellite and drone
data to find problems like deforestation
and pollution. It gives early warnings for
things like wildfires. Also, AI uses
sensors in different places to watch air

environmental impact.
In fisheries, AI analyzes vessel activity and
marine data to spot illegal practices and
unsustainable zones, supporting responsible
fisheries management.
AI identifies areas with high biodiversity or
vulnerability to climate change, allowing
targeted conservation efforts and smart resource
allocation.
CITIZEN SCIENCE AND COMMUNITY
E NGAGE ME NT:
AI-powered mobile apps help citizen scientists
collect and analyze environmental data, like water
quality or wildlife sightings, building important
environmental datasets.
AI creates engaging visualizations and reports
using environmental data to raise public awareness
and support for protecting the environment.
AI platforms connect people and organizations
addressing environmental issues, promoting
collaboration and information sharing for a bigger
impact.
