Satellites and AI track Côte d'Ivoire's disappearing mangroves

Problem

Côte d’Ivoire has lost almost all of its mangroves in half a century. Mangroves store large amounts of carbon and shield coastal villages from the sea.

AI solution

data354 combines radar, optical and laser satellite data with hundreds of field plots to map mangrove biomass and carbon in near real time.

Impact

[NEED: results from the Fresco and Sassandra pilots, and the status of the Senegal expansion in 2026.]
