Why it matters
Every year, wildfires destroy 30-40 million hectares of vegetation and create CO2 emissions of 8 Gt on average.
Catastrophic wildfires endanger whole ecosystems, cause biodiversity loss and water pollution. Air pollution caused by wildfires accounts for 340,000 deaths annually.
Response time of firefighting efforts is critical. The probability of containing a wildfire successfully is doubled when fire size is 20% smaller.
Right now, all the pieces of the puzzle that we’ve built over the past five years, come together. I’m amazed by the number of players looking at our solution.
