In collaboration with NGOs from around the world, we launched an open source software called the Code of Conscience, that restricts the use of heavy machinery in protected land areas.
Code of Conscience uses open-source mapping data from the United Nations World Database on Protected Areas – updated monthly by NGOs, communities and governments – to autonomously restrict deforestation crews from entering protected zones. A small, low-cost chip has been developed to equip the code into older, non-GPS models, and the software is available for free to everyone on CodeofConscience.org
We are now in the process of scaling the project to make it accessible to more governments, businesses and organisations to adopt.
