📋 Tender Overview
Technology and AI at the service of forest protection and sustainable useThe Regional Government of Ucayali, in alliance with the Forest and Wildlife Resources Supervision Agency (Osinfor), today in the city of Pucallpa launched OsinforLAB, the Innovation and Digital Transformation Laboratory that promotes technological solutions to strengthen forest supervision, combat illegal logging and promote the sustainable use of natural resources in the region and the country.
The national head of Osinfor highlighted the importance of this mechanism: Technology has come to stay here in Ucayali and is an example of responsible use in forest management, sustainable use and conservation. Likewise, he mentioned that OsinforLAB is installed in Ucayali as a pioneering space for co-creation, where public institutions, the private sector and communities work hand in hand to solve real problems such as deforestation, illegal logging and forest fires, through the use and application of artificial intelligence, big data and collaborative tools.
For its part, the Regional Government of Ucayali emphasized: We congratulate Osinfor for the launch of this laboratory that will help in the development and management of forests, including the identification of timber species. We will always be attentive and working hand in hand with State institutions to better manage our forests. The OsinforLAB is installed in the region as an open space to co-design solutions, including a future joint monitoring center with the Regional Government, which will make controls compatible, It will support legal producers and firmly combat illegal activities.
Likewise, the prompt execution of two initial projects through this new laboratory was announced. The first of them is a plugin to detect and identify shihuahuaco and other high-value wood from the region, improving traceability and prevention of illegal extractions. The other project seeks to implement a certificate of legal origin as a digital tool that will connect Ucayali forest producers with national and international markets in a faster, more practical and competitive way, strengthening legality and sustainable trade.
Finally, progress was announced in a sensor prototype for early detection of forest fire risks, developed in collaboration with Colombia and the National University of Engineering (UNI), which will be scaled in Ucayali through the laboratory.
