Your Used Cell-Phone Can Help Save The Rainforests.
Deforestation Due To Illegal Logging. - Deforestation accounts for more greenhouse gas than all the world's planes, trains, cars, trucks and ships combined. It is the second highest contributor to Climate Change. Here is a solution that can halt "illegal" logging in rainforests. The Rainforest Connection (RFCx) transforms recycled cell-phones into autonomous, solar-powered listening devices that can monitor and pinpoint chainsaw activity at great distance. This changes the game by providing the world's first real-time logging detection system, pinpointing deforestation activity as it occurs, and providing the data openly, freely, and immediately to anyone around the world. For the first time, on a scalable level, responsible agents can arrive on the scene in time to interrupt the perpetrators and stop the damage, and the world can listen in as it occurs. The Rainforest Connection uses upcycled mobile technology to monitor and protect remote forests, enabling real-time interventions.
