Can Cell Phones Help Save Rain Forests? This Tribe Thinks So | Short Film Showcase

So we take an old cellphone and we put it up in the trees. If it has solar panels, it can last for years. It listens to all the sounds of the forest all the time to pick up the sound of chainsaws and logging trucks, anything that indicates there's danger.

"Don't come here!" What keeps guys mad? "Erica, Tandy! Who bad?" And they, "Yeah, kita, I gotta."

Floresta, say this is my father. "Killed my daddy," the Portuguese she was safe. They started to book it, a contest in another Floresta.

"Okay, okay." A Buddhist wouldn't, "My dad!" He was a Zac cake. "Massage, forgotten. My dad, I knew shock, Kundera. Peking, Chia, with a path to a garage, attempt a todo mundo. Z&X, with a Strang. The forest, it afraid Jayamma flourished at homage for hardness.

A floresta noise at una vida, a bizarre tragedy. Vasta sound acaba. "Come to do Katina, Floresta." Carbon-fluorine succeed, as in she monitor on a fiscal. Is Angela Pace behind evolution? Farce problem but complete, more apparent as multiple. Especially Lucinda, some assume economist, a vida loca.

A temp agency for me, buscando mechanism. "Wheat or Nike or Ashkenazi, also treat opposite end. Kin default annoys. Domina, there's a posh dad. Would it be easier for us to do that by focusing on a perimeter trophy pond?"

"Olivia, primera vez. Vo vo j Chico hermoso, necesidades, efficacy, pebble, tenacity, phat le vie, possibly for the omen. Poison Poconos. Tom Curren, the Toby people are an amazing example of the people that's trying to preserve their forests. They are well organized, they're well educated, and are not afraid to use different tools, new technologies.

They're looking for collaboration, they're not looking for help. People on the ground in these places, they're the solutions, they're the ones who can actually really fight off deforestation. But technology can play a really big part in helping you do it more safely and more effectively.

"Robin, to know sistema de una tormenta Park NJ passatti se ctrl e eva sopressata, Radhaji an SE c-- dire que nós temos Omaha dizzy facility."

"Is not just a museum, and in order to do is to be kind of precise with this one here because the antenna is more fragile and sensitive. You want to put the microphone on there? Yeah, that's good."

Old cell phones are available to almost anybody all the time. And these aren't trash; these are actually really, really powerful little computers. They can connect to the networks that are there, they can record the sound, they can do all this great processing.

The hard parts, of course, have to do with making it possible to power them and making sure they can actually pick up sounds from a great distance. But all these are things that you can do with pretty standard electronics.

So the 10-day themselves have at most 30 Rangers, 30 lawyers that are able to sort of patrol the area and took responsibility for protecting it. And yet we're talking about an area that's huge, and that's where this ability for us to be able to listen to parts of the forest 24/7 really increases the efficiency and the safety of the entire operation for them.

That's a really critical tool given what they're up against. You know, a person could be able to detect the chainsaw at a kilometer away given how loud and how noisy, now complex the sound really is.

So we're actually using an open-source machine learning tool, TensorFlow, the table to detect a logging truck, the sounds of birds or animals or chainsaws in the forest. It's amazing what they can actually find that we cannot even hear.

And I can send a real-time alert to the Rangers, to the guards, to the Chiefs so they can decide how to respond.
