ForestGuard is a fire detection system to identify potential forest wildfires quickly.

ForestGuard 2.0 was designed by Suat Batuhan Esirger and Rana Imam and aims to protect forests from wildfires using its award-winning, IoT-based, satellite-connected technology providing real-time detection.

ForestGuard sensors are attached to tree trunks with elastic straps, allowing tree growth without damage. They are also flexible to prevent harm to the environment.
