Description

Forest Guardian saves forests and bridges the gap between communities and forest departments. The app enables easy reporting of forest-related incidents, quick communication with rangers, and community engagement for conservation efforts.

Approach

We built Forest Guardian with a community-first mindset. By making it simple for people living near forests to report issues and connect with authorities, we create a powerful network of forest protectors. The app uses location services, image uploads, and direct messaging to ensure fast response to threats.

Key Features

  1. Incident Reporting: Quick reporting of illegal activities, wildlife sightings, and wildfires

  2. Geolocation: Automatic tagging of incident locations

  3. Ranger Contact: Direct communication with nearest forest rangers

  4. Fundraising: Community-driven funding for conservation projects

  5. Community Forum: Information sharing and awareness building

  6. Carbon Footprint Calculator: Personal environmental impact tracking

Progress During Hackathon

We completed integrating all our mentioned features but some of them like quick chat & payment gateway integration aren't completed due to time constraint.
