Ajna - SingularityU Global Impact Challenge 2018, India

Ajna combats illegal logging using autonomous drones, deep learning & blockchain technologies.
Drones: Flies over the forest edges & records footage
Deep Learning: Detects changes in tree canopies from recorded footage
Blockchain: Records changes for audit
Ajna is a practical technological solution possible because of recent improvements in drone range, performant deep learning system & stable/secure blockchain technology.
Impact:
10% of climate change is attributed to illegal logging. That not only is terrible for our planet, it creates a $5B loss to government revenues! Ajna can wipe this off at 30x less that what it saves!!
This is possibly one of the most impactful projects that can make meaningful change to our environment at this stunning cost to performance ratio!
