Community air quality monitoring to minimize the impacts of forest fires in Honduras

Aire Limpio Honduras is a youth-led initiative that strengthens adaptation to climate change through a community air quality monitoring network. With more than 50 low-cost monitors installed in the country, it generates open data on PM2.5 to identify risks associated with forest fires and burning, raise awareness among communities and strengthen their response capacity to protect health.

Early warning system for the protection of forests and communities against forest fires created in Argentina

Wildfires are detected late and spread before response arrives. Satellites on Fire, created in Argentina by young people, is an early warning platform that combines satellite images, cameras on towers and artificial intelligence to detect fires in minutes, send alerts by WhatsApp, SMS or email and estimate how the fire will spread. It currently operates in 21 countries and monitors 50 million hectares.

Youth participation
The youth lead the project from its conception, technical development and management. In 2020, at just 16 years old, its founders programmed the first predictive algorithms with AI to respond to forest fires in Córdoba. They validated the technology together with fire stations and local brigades, consolidating a solution that scaled to the regional level under the direction of a team made up mainly of young professionals.

Ecological restoration and afforestation of native species in the face of fires in Argentina

RestaurAcción, an Eco House program launched in 2021 with youth participation, restores degraded areas and forests with native species in eight Argentine provinces, creating biodiversity corridors together with communities, municipalities, schools and companies to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems in the face of climate change. It has already planted more than 13,000 native specimens in more than 60 community restoration events, with more than 8,000 people involved.
