The Inia-Lara Turtle Museum in Paphos will host a free workshop titled 'Akamas in Action' on February 8, focusing on the ecological and cultural significance of the Akamas region. This initiative aims to engage the public in innovative landscape evaluation methods that emphasize conservation and sustainable development, utilizing technologies like artificial intelligence and geoinformatics. The workshop is part of a broader European research project, Topio, which seeks to assess and enhance the quality of ecologically important landscapes.
Akamas, known for its rich biodiversity and unspoiled natural beauty, faces significant environmental challenges, including illegal activities and urban expansion. The workshop will not only raise awareness about these pressing issues but also encourage community involvement through guided nature walks and discussions. By leveraging AI technologies, the project aims to create digital twins of the landscape, providing valuable insights for effective conservation strategies.
• AI and geoinformatics will enhance landscape evaluation and conservation efforts.
• Digital twins will be developed to monitor and manage the Akamas landscape.
Artificial intelligence is utilized to assess the aesthetic and environmental quality of landscapes.
Geoinformatics is employed to analyze and map landscapes, addressing earth science problems.
Digital twins are virtual representations created to monitor and manage the studied landscapes.
