Environment Technology Internship Internship NEW

This organisation is a trailblazer in the fight against deforestation and the restoration of ecosystems through advanced technology. Committed to innovation, sustainability, and environmental stewardship, we utilise drone technology, AI, and a deep understanding of ecology to support large-scale reforestation and ecosystem recovery efforts globally.

Our primary focus is on designing, developing, and implementing cutting-edge reforestation techniques. By combining drone technology with custom seed dispersal systems and biodegradable seed spheres, we efficiently plant a diverse range of native species. We also research AI applications to optimise planting patterns and monitor growth, which significantly boosts the success of reforestation projects.

Born out of a shared vision to regenerate ecosystems and preserve biodiversity, our organisation has pioneered technological advances in drone-assisted planting, revolutionising traditional reforestation methods. As we continue to grow, we refine our technologies to tackle increasingly complex environmental challenges.

Our mission is to restore ecosystems through scalable, tech-driven solutions, aiming to restore millions of hectares of deforested and degraded land. In doing so, we strive to foster biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and support communities reliant on these ecosystems.

We cultivate a team-oriented culture where creativity, collaboration, and innovation are key. Employees are encouraged to take initiative, push boundaries, and develop meaningful solutions that make a difference. Our diverse team shares a collective passion for making the world greener.

Achievements

• Creation of a state-of-the-art seed dispenser integrated with drones for precision planting.
• Planting millions of seeds across various continents, contributing to the restoration of ecosystems.
• AI advancements that optimise planting locations and monitor plant growth.
• Recognition as a leader in environmental technology, with awards and accolades in the tech-for-good space.
• Strategic partnerships with governments, NGOs, and local communities to amplify impact and promote sustainable practices.

Our ethos is rooted in the belief that technology and nature can work together to heal the planet. As we continue to evolve, we look for new ways to support rewilding efforts, promote regenerative agriculture, and lead the charge in ecosystem restoration.

Training provided & learning outcomes to be achieved

At this organisation, the Internship Program offers hands-on experience in innovative reforestation technology and ecological restoration strategies. Interns will directly contribute to our mission by using advanced technologies, including drone reforestation, AI, and ecological data analysis, to restore ecosystems across the globe.

Interns will be assigned to one of our key projects, based on their field of study and interests:

• AI and Data Analysis for Reforestation: Interns will work on enhancing AI algorithms for terrain and vegetation analysis, aiding in the selection of ideal reforestation sites and tracking plant growth after planting.
• Engineering and Prototyping: Interns will assist in designing and developing custom seed dispensers and seed spheres, engaging in CAD design, prototyping, and field testing.
• Ecological Impact Analysis: This project offers interns the chance to engage in research and fieldwork, evaluating the environmental impacts of reforestation, including changes in biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Training Plan

1. Orientation and Onboarding (Week 1):
   • Introduction to the organisation’s mission, culture, and team.
   • Overview of current projects and technologies.
   • Safety training for fieldwork and drone operations.
2. Technical Workshops (Weeks 2-3):
   • Training in software tools relevant to the intern’s project, such as CAD, Python, or GIS for ecological data analysis.
   • Seminars on drone technology and its applications in reforestation.
3. Shadowing and Mentoring (Weeks 4-5):
   • Shadowing team members to gain insights into daily operations.
   • Regular mentoring sessions to offer guidance on project challenges.
4. Hands-On Project Work (Weeks 6-10):
   • Active participation in projects, applying newly acquired skills.
   • Weekly check-ins with project supervisors to ensure alignment with project goals.
5. Mid-Term Review (Week 8):
   • Evaluation of progress with feedback to identify areas for improvement.
   • Adjustment of tasks if necessary to align with learning objectives.
6. Fieldwork Experience (Varies):
   • On-site training for planting operations and data collection (if relevant).
   • Practical experience with drone deployment and maintenance.
7. Final Presentation and Review (Week 12):
   • Preparation and delivery of a final presentation on the intern’s work.
   • Final review with supervisors to discuss performance, achievements, and potential future opportunities.

This comprehensive training plan is designed to ensure that interns gain valuable skills, contribute meaningfully to our reforestation efforts, and develop a deeper understanding of the role technology plays in environmental conservation.
