Platform will help regenerate section of Daintree while speeding
new models for environmental restoration
NTT and ClimateForce today announced a partnership to create the
world’s first Smart Rainforest using NTT’s Smart Management
Platform technology. This groundbreaking initiative aims to
regenerate a section of Australia's Daintree Rainforest and
establish sustainable and cost-effective models for environmental
restoration efforts around the world.
ClimateForce is regenerating a section of Australia’s Daintree
Rainforest that had been razed for agriculture decades ago. The
land, which is adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, has since become
infested with invasive plant species. NTT’s sponsorship will help
support the regeneration effort using Smart Management Platform
(SMP) Technology and Analytics, while NTT DATA, a global digital
business and IT services leader, is providing operational and
fundraising support.
“ClimateForce is a proving ground for technologies that protect
biodiversity and help mitigate climate change,” said Barney
Swan, CEO and Co-founder of ClimateForce. “The generous support
from NTT and NTT DATA will help us quickly expand our initiative in
the Daintree and speed our goal of developing replicable models
that regenerate ecosystems, protect biodiversity and foster
resilient local economies in other locations.”
NTT DATA will help ClimateForce leverage AI, data gathering and
analysis as well as predictive analytics to assess various organic
reforestation techniques. In addition to providing operating
support for the initiative, NTT DATA is also contributing funds to
help ClimateForce purchase and protect the regenerated land in
perpetuity.
“NTT DATA met Barney through our sponsorship of his father’s
Undaunted: South Pole 2023 expedition, which advocated for
sustainable practices and long-term protections for Antarctica,”
said Bob Pryor, CEO, NTT DATA Services. “We’re excited to
extend this relationship and help ClimateForce with its mission in
the tropics, which perfectly aligns with our own vision for
realizing a sustainable future.”
