If and when they do that we will find a way to adapt and detect. The beauty of a real-time system is that you can make changes/improvements remotely without having to go out in the forest again and swap devices out.

In fact, the forest is a very loud place and yet we are still able to detect the sound signature of a chainsaw.

You can hear it for yourself here:

As Tony points out below it is often too late with satellite imagery and they can only capture after the devastation occurs.

Our system is as real-time as it gets. In fact you can download our app right now and listen live to the sounds of the forests:

Great points you bring up and indeed things do get complicated as you face a bigger and more organized operation. This is the case in parts of the Tembe territory in Brazil and it is the reason why we work with many partners and agencies on the ground to ensure that the data we capture is used wisely.
Thank you so much for you support!

We are not doing that at the moment but would love to hear more about it.
