Tanzania Forest Service sent two conservationists to a workshop in Lilongwe, where African countries learned how Michigan State University tracks carbon stored in trees growing outside actual forests. Rogers Nyinondi and Jameseth Lazaro represented TFS because Tanzania pledged to restore 5.2 million hectares of wrecked land through the AFR100 program.
Professor David Skole from MSU showed participants how to use satellite tech and machine learning models to count individual trees across massive areas. Scientists from Rwanda, Kenya, DRC, Senegal, India, and Malawi showed up to discuss better ways to verify restoration data and improve carbon measurement systems across the continent.
