The Swedish Forest Agency (Skogsstyrelsen) has launched a new AI-powered digital map designed to help forest owners better understand their land. According to a press release from the agency, the digital tool will make it easier to identify areas within forest land that may contain high natural or cultural values, such as ancient trapping pits. The map, launched this week, represents a new approach to forest management that leverages artificial intelligence technology.
The initiative aims to provide forest owners with improved tools for sustainable forest management by highlighting areas of particular ecological or historical significance. While details about the specific AI technology and implementation timeline were not provided in the available sources, the launch represents a significant step in digitalizing forest management practices in Sweden.
