The idea
Protecting forests from illegal deforestation.
Screaming Trees is a connected treehouse made to protect forests from illegal harvesters. It was built to use only open-source IoT sensors, so it can be replicated.
It monitors ambient sound and listens for a rhythm like a chainsaw. That way we do not need battery-heavy sensors to analyse the signal.
When it hears an unusual pattern, it sends an SMS with its location to the local green NGOs and forestry force.
