Satellite data, field sensors, and AI working together to detect illegal logging in real time, guide afforestation, and protect Romania's forests — before it's too late.
"We believe every hectare of forest deserves a guardian. For too long, the forests of Romania have been watched over by too few people with too few tools. TreeAI changes that — AI that never sleeps, never misses a deforestation event, and never stops learning."
Romania loses an estimated 3 million cubic meters of forest annually to illegal logging. The country's SUMAL timber traceability system — one of Europe's most advanced — still suffers from widespread fraud. Traditional monitoring cannot keep pace. TreeAI was built for this.
High-resolution optical and SAR imagery refreshed regularly. Scans remote forest regions across Romania and the EU — places humans can't reach every day.
Algorithms trained on years of deforestation signatures detect logging events the moment they happen — not days or weeks later when the damage is done.
Ground-level sensors provide continuous health data and verify alerts from above. When something's wrong, we know exactly where and how bad.
Not just monitoring — active guidance. TreeAI recommends the best areas for planting based on soil, climate, and historical forest data. Every tree planted in the right place.
Sentinel-2 and commercial optical satellites scan forest areas. Multi-spectral bands detect canopy changes invisible to the naked eye.
Change detection models compare new imagery against baseline archives. Deforestation signatures trigger confidence scoring.
High-confidence alerts are cross-referenced with field sensor data. Low-risk anomalies are logged. Critical events trigger immediate notification.
Authorities and partners receive actionable reports. All events are archived with full evidence chains for compliance and research.
TreeAI is actively forming a consortium of researchers, NGOs, governments, and technology partners across the European Union. Our goal: a continent-scale forest monitoring network powered by open AI.

TreeAI is that system — running 24 hours a day, watching every hectare, catching illegal logging before the chainsaws move, guiding every new tree into the right soil. This is climate action at the scale the problem demands.
