The Opportunity
As forest protection agencies expand enforcement, they face a critical bottleneck: jurisdictional disputes, delayed investigations, and post-facto discovery of illegal felling (like the 1,000 khair trees already lost). Agencies need real-time satellite + ground-based monitoring to detect timber theft *before* trees are hauled away, and automated audit trails to prevent inter-agency finger-pointing. Without this, enforcement remains reactive and politically compromised.
