Digital is already empowering communities across the world. About 30% of the world is covered by forests, but that figure is falling at an alarming rate. Swathes half the size of England are lost every year. This rapid deforestation accounts for around 11% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Cheap, easy to use and able to operate in even the most inaccessible areas quickly and quietly, drones are proving to be the ideal conservation tool. Whether operating as a silent eye in the sky on the lookout for illegal logging or hovering above the forest floor scattering seeds to promote new growth, the drone is now a key weapon in the fight to conserve one of earth’s most precious resources.
Launched at Davos 2017, #DigitalEmpowers celebrates the crucial role technology plays in improving our world. We invite you to learn more, and encourage you to share your own stories of how digital has empowered you, your company, your community or your country.
