At Farmers for Forests, we build open‑source technology to bring accountability and transparency to nature-based solutions. Manual tree counts were slow, and satellite data lacked the resolution we needed - so we created a complete tech stack to monitor every tree, every hectare, in real time.
Our system has two parts.
Data Collection - drones and satellites, WhatsApp chatbot ChutkiAI, and FieldHQ.
Project Anāhitā - TreeLens, Impact Dashboard, and Forest Protection Dashboard.
Our Impact Dashboard
ChutkiAI
Collecting Truth, From Ground and Sky
Our data collection system combines high-resolution drone imagery, satellite data, and field-level inputs to ensure no tree is missed and no eligible farmer is overlooked
Drones & Satellites
High-resolution drone imagery, combined with satellite data, gives us centimeter-level views of every farm and forest we work in. This enables tree counts, health assessments, and land-use mapping that were impossible with manual methods
FieldHQ
Our central hub for field operations - uniting farmer, land, and inventory data into a real‑time view of thousands of hectares. It helps teams track resources, spot gaps, and stay accountable at every step
ChutkiAI
Our multilingual Whatsapp-based chatbot 'Chutki AI' keeps us connected to farmers, sharing updates, collecting feedback, and supporting enrollment - all through a tool they already use every day
Introducing Project Anāhitā: Turning Data into Living Impact
Our open‑source AI suite transforms field data into powerful insights - scalable, transparent, and cost‑efficient.Within the Project Anāhitā ecosystem, three core tools work together to track and amplify impact.
TreeLens
TreeLens analyzes drone imagery to count and geo‑tag every tree, identify species, estimate carbon sequestration, and assess health. It detects even saplings under four feet tall, giving us tree‑by‑tree precision from year one of planting

Our White Paper
We’ve published a white paper detailing TreeLens’ AI models, drone workflows, and validation - showing over 90% accuracy in mature tree detection and significantly lower costs than traditional monitoring

Impact Dashboard
Impact Dashboard
Our impact dashboard visualizes environmental outcomes - tracking survival rates, growth, biodiversity, water savings, and carbon captured. It turns complex data into simple insights for funders, enabling transparent impact reporting
Demo Forest Protection Dashboard
Forest Protection Dashboard
This platform tracks forest health and reduction in logging, while monitoring cookstove adoption, to estimate carbon saved through reduced fuelwood use. It combines satellite data, field reports, and community inputs for a clear view of impact
