Environmental protection is a hot topic in much of the world, so it came as little surprise that television world became interested in our FutureForest<\/a> project.<\/p>\n

The project blends state-of-the art technology such as artificial intelligence with nature management. It is truly a great example of how technology can benefit our world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

neuneinhalb<\/a> (lit. "nine-and-a-half") is a weekly youth programme on Das Erste<\/a>, the flagship national television channel of the ARD association of public broadcasting corporations in Germany. On an episode aptly titled "How can artificial intelligence help with environmental protection?" (German: "Wie kann K\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz bei Umweltschutz helfen?"), the FutureForest team had the opportunity to present the research project.<\/p>\n

In the episode, the neuneinhalb team visits the university forest of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich<\/a> in Landshut, where the FutureForest test areas are located.<\/p>\n

Here, Fabian Fassnacht (FU Berlin<\/a>) explains the collection of field data in FutureForest, whilst Michael Reuss<\/a> (TU Munich<\/a>) shows the installation of sensors in the tree crowns. In these efforts, they were aided by Marco Bobinger<\/a> (Ecosoph<\/a>), responsible for setting up the sensor technology (dendrometer and ground sensors with radio connection) in the forest, Werner Rammer<\/a> (TU Munich) and forester Christoph Dimke.<\/p>\n
