Take a look at a new lesson from Silvanus the Trailblazer to see how controlled #wildfires and #prescribed burning can help to maintain #ecosystem balance and reduce the danger of extreme wildfires! The animated video is available on the SILVANUS YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/d8iJ55vP Prescribed burning is a process ONLY done by forest management and firefighting professionals!

Integrated Technological and Information Platform for Wildfire Management (Horizon 2020 Project)
About us
In the climate crisis era, where forest fires are becoming more dangerous and more frequent, SILVANUS aims to offer a new technological solution to improve the preparedness and prevention of wildfire ignition. The key output of the project is the release of a climate resilient forest management platform to prevent and suppress forest fire. SILVANUS relies on environmental, technical and social sciences experts to support regional and national authorities responsible for wildfire management in their respective countries. Along with the development of intelligent fire ignition models using climate and weather data, SILVANUS will develop a stakeholder engagement programme in forest regions to assess fire risk indicators, to develop training methodology for firefighters, to use for VR and AR training toolkits, and to simulate real-world environments and life-saving scenarios.

Excited to share a major milestone in my journey from research to real-world impact! 🚀 Over the past few years, I’ve been working on translating our lab’s findings into a tangible tool that can benefit both scientists and nature enthusiasts alike. Below are a few highlights from this transition: 1️⃣ Bridging Research and Product Development Taking research outcomes and turning them into accessible products is vital for showcasing our work to a broader community. It’s one thing to publish a paper; it’s another to build something people can actually use and learn from. 2️⃣ Navigating a Diverse IT Landscape Along the way, I’ve had to wear many hats—from securing our cloud infrastructure and exposing backend APIs for front-end consumption, to interfacing with databases, and integrating AI models on secure GPU resources. Learning how to orchestrate multiple GPU threads and ensure smooth, scalable performance was an invaluable challenge. 3️⃣ Powered by the SILVANUS Project Thanks to support from the SILVANUS project, I’m proud to announce the official launch of the Woode App. This free, open-to-all application brings together two cutting-edge AI components: • Prototype Learning for Automated Classification: Snap a photo of any plant or tree, and our AI will classify the species in seconds. 🌿 • AI Agent for Plant Information: Get detailed, contextual information about regional biodiversity right at your fingertips—perfect for researchers, students, or anyone curious about the environment. 4️⃣ Join Us in Expanding Digital Biodiversity The Woode App is completely free to download and use. I invite you to explore its features, contribute your observations, and help us enrich the digital knowledge base on local ecosystems. Your feedback and contributions will directly fuel continued research on environmental learning and conservation. 🌳📱 👉 Download the Woode App now: https://lnkd.in/e_K_K2PP Thank you to everyone who supported this journey—especially the SILVANUS team—and to my colleagues who helped make this vision a reality. Let’s work together to better understand and protect our planet’s incredible biodiversity! 🌎✨ #WoodeApp #AI #Biodiversity #SILVANUS #ResearchToProduct #EnvironmentalTech

On the second and final day of the Wildfire Risk Management Clustering Event, #SILVANUSProject team contributed to the interactive sessions and showcased the #platform components. 🖥️ At the interactive workshop, the Integrated Wildfire Risk Management Strategy for Europe was discussed, one of the key outputs of the #EUFireProjectsUnited initiative, developed by Firelogue.eu, TREEADS, FirEUrisk, FIRE-RES, and #SILVANUSProject. The strategy framework consists of: 🏛️ An inter-agency body at EU level 📝 European Wildfire Management Directive - binding gudiance 🚦 Development of Key Performance Indicators and Concentration of Approaches across the EU 👨🏻🏫 Knowledge sharing and provision of guidance and good practices 🛢️ Creation of a central data hub and maintenance of the created data sets Dr. Georgios Sakkas from Center for Security Studies (KEMEA), a member of the #SILVANUSProject team, highlighted the importance of standards in building codes and construction of fire-proof buildings, and how the #SILVANUSProject platform can provide standardisation and harmonisation data within wildfire management. 🔥 The #SILVANUSProject team wishes to thank Firelogue.eu and Nicolas Faivre for the support and the organisation of the Clustering Event! The #EUFireProjectsUnited initiative has proven to be successful and productive for the entire duration of #SILVANUSProject! 👏 For the benefit of forests and humankind! 🌲👨👩👧👦 #wildfiremanagement #climatechange #GreenDeal
