Illegal forest activities are causing deforestation and accelerating the decline in forest cover in Kenya at a steady rate. Reporting systems relying heavily on toll services, etc., lose actionable intelligence in between transmissions, leading to slower response times and a higher rate of "phantom" crimes going unaddressed.

With millions of Kenyans having smartphones, an opportunity exists to turn every citizen into a forest ranger and translate their actions into measurable impact. This can be implemented by an AI-powered WhatsApp bot that allows citizens to report environmental crimes instantly, anonymously, and with verified data, relaying this information back to forest conservatory communities where further action can be taken.
