Beyond Dead Wood Hackathon – Ultrahack
Unlock the potential of Europe’s rare true old-growth forests! Develop innovative solutions to protect these precious ecosystems, showcasing how their preservation not only sustains biodiversity but also creates lucrative opportunities for owners by establishing and monetising the unique value of these remarkable forests.
HACKATHON CHALLENGE
HOW TO IDENTIFY AND VALIDATE RARE AND ECOLOGICALLY VALUABLE FORESTS?
In this Beyond Dead Wood hackathon you will set up a controlled comparison example, and provide an introduction and data to both forest ecology, Artificial Intelligence, and remote sensing to serve as the criteria for a hackathon effort.
Successful solutions will contribute to a paradigm shift in biodiversity conservation, offering a scalable and reliable method to identify, validate, and preserve ecologically valuable forests. The winning solutions may have the potential to reshape industry practices, reconcile conservation efforts with economic interests, and create a sustainable future for our planet that preserves biodiversity.
