Mangrove Conservation with AI
Half of the world's mangroves have been lost, and only 7% are under protection. By enhancing data gathering and analysis technology, we can learn quickly, respond accurately, and share crucial data to preserve and restore this vital ecosystem. Improved real-time monitoring boosts community decision-making, shapes local to global policies, and helps replicate successful strategies worldwide. Integrating biophysical monitoring and developing educational tools are key to this technological approach.
Indigenous Resilience Network
An indigenous-led network promoting workforce development, broadband strategies, digital skills, technical assistance and community enrichment backed by the N50 global alliance. The IRN will be a North American (then global) network promoting workforce development, digital skills, and inter-community cooperative working, led by Indigenous subject-matter experts.
Thought Leadership
Geeks recognizes the importance of demonstrating thought leadership as a method of achieving its vision of promoting technology for a resilient world including bringing the benefits of broadband connectivity -health, education, poverty reduction, gender equality and the other UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)- to the estimated 3 billion people who remain unconnected.
CommunityConnect!
CommunityConnect! is designed to bring essential Digital Divide related Internet connectivity, equipment, services and support to the unconnected and under-connected in communities. We provide the leadership, partnerships, and expertise to help deliver these services and also to enable organizations, commercial or otherwise, to catalyze their own initiatives and accelerate exponential change.
