Jan 17: Huawei and IUCN Launch Tech4Nature Project with Kenya Wildlife Service to Protect Coral Reefs
Partners at the launch event in January
Huawei, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and local partner Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) have launched a Tech4Nature project to monitor and protect coral reef and biodiversity in Kenya's Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park and Reserve.
Aligned with Huawei's TECH4ALL initiative and the IUCN Green List, the objective of the three-year project is to strengthen monitoring and management efficacy of the protected area and help tackle issues such as illegal fishing, lack of remote monitoring of the reserve's three coral islands coupled with pressures created by tourism, and inadequate telecoms network infrastructure.

Underwater cameras, photogrammetry, and audio monitoring technologies will be deployed to monitor marine life, including the biomass and population of parrot fish. In many coral reef ecosystems, parrot fish are a keystone species that, due to their diet, help prevent coral from being smothered by seaweed and algae.
The solution will also monitor substrate cover in the reef ecosystems, seagrass cover, and the occurrence of green turtles and bottlenose dolphins, which are classified on the IUCN Red List as endangered and vulnerable, respectively.
