<p style="line-height:175%;text-align:justify" align="justify">In this three-day hackathon, you will set up a controlled comparison example, and provide an introduction and data to both forest ecology, GenAI, and remote sensing to serve as the criteria for a hackathon effort.</p>

<p style="line-height:175%;text-align:justify" align="justify">Successful solutions will contribute to a paradigm shift in biodiversity conservation, offering a scalable and reliable method to identify, validate, and preserve ecologically valuable forests.
