Microsoft AI for earth Project - Mapping the future of our forests with Microsoft AI

There are hundreds of millions of acres of forest in the United States.
美國有數億英畝的森林腹地。

What's happening with them today is the result of centuries of past decision-making.
數個世紀以前的決策，成就現在的樣子。

Forests are made up of complex interconnected systems, 
森林是由很多複雜的系統互相聯繫而成。

and there's never been a way to measure all of these systems and you can't manage what you can't measure.
從以前到現在，都沒有一套方法能測量這些森林系統，自然就也無法有效管理他們。

Through Microsoft's AI for Good initiative, we've created the first high-resolution inventory of all US forests to provide better data and to make better decisions.
透過微軟AI for Good的新創技術，我們創建出一套高解析的美國森林腹地圖，希望藉此提供更精細的數據，做出更棒的決策。

We even timbering in this land for over 40 years.
我們在這塊土地上伐木超過40個年頭。

The watershed provides drinking water to all of citizens of Duncannon.
此處的流域是Duncannon所有居民的飲用水源。

It is not maintained in a sustainable way.
這並不是一個非常可靠的永續方法。

Duncannon came to the Nature Conservancy because they had no force management plan.
Duncannon的居民開始求助於自然保護委員會，因為他們沒有足夠的能力去管理這項計畫。

Using SilviaTerra, the borough will know how many trees are per acre, waterways will be mapped and buffered.
自治區的居民可以透過使用 SilviaTerra 知道一英畝的土地中有多少樹木，而各式的水路也能被正確的繪製、分配。

This will be sustainably managed working forest, forever.
這將會成為一個能永續以及可靠管理森林的方式。

Working with Microsoft AI has been transformative because it allows us to scale our process globally and to democratize access to this kind of information.
應用微軟的AI技術來作業是一項創舉，因為這讓我們能達到全球性的規模，並且將這樣的資訊供大眾使用。

We have the forests that we have today.
今天我們擁有的這些森林腹地。

We can't change that.
這是沒有辦法改變的。

What we can change is the future.
唯一能改變的是未來。

Microsoft AI and SilviaTerra are empowering landowners, so they can grow the forests of future.
微軟AI和SilviaTerra正在授權這些資訊給地主，如此一來，他們可望發展出這些森林腹地的未來希望。

Every single person has a stake in this.
在這件事上，每個人都是利害關係人。
