CollectiveCrunch and Luontoa Consulting announce a collaboration to develop a biodiversity solution for the forest sector

CollectiveCrunch and Luontoa Consulting have initiated a joint product development project where AI and data are utilized to create solutions for recognizing ecologically valuable sites in forests.

The partnership will design and co-create a service for forestry organizations, which will allow them to identify ecologically valuable sites more efficiently than before. The automated identification of these sites speeds up and facilitates the planning of forestry actions and helps to protect valuable sites in forests better than at present.
