We have been working on building AI-based tools for verification. This mainly includes developing machine learning algorithms to identify and count individual trees from high-resolution satellite data. This work is ongoing and we are still building, testing, and iterating on these tools.\n\n1. We have onboarded over 100 farmer groups to our ReFi platform and currently have over 3000 individual small farmers onboarded.\n\n1. We have mapped over 2000 acres of smallholder farms in Kenya and are working on baseline data for these areas.\n\n1. We have also scaled ReFi awareness and capacity-building meetings to cover a large expanse of central Kenya. Our efforts in this regard have reached thousands of farmers across Kenya and are ongoing in order to reach many more.\n\n1. We are in the advanced stages of planning the second ReFi Kenya event which will bring together stakeholders in ReFi from across the country.\n\n## Tree planting in Kenya\n\nNew carbon projects have been launched in collaboration with the smallholder farmers we have onboarded. Currently, over 50,000 trees have been planted through this partnership and we plan to plant more during the upcoming rainy season in October.\n\n\n## Current focus\n\nWe continue to work on our AI-based tools for the automated monitoring of carbon stocks from satellite data.\n\nWe are also onboarding farmer groups and organizations that have been engaged in carbon projects in Kenya over the last couple of years. We are helping these groups and the NGOs they work with to quantify and register their carbon credits and bring them to market.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "shambadynamic", "projectTwitter": "shambanetwork"}, "recipient": "0x86579EBcE57605929Da73d8cE17f40960c3b052a"}}
