<potential_impact><![CDATA[<p>A technology platform would allow researchers to collect continuous, ground-level environmental data at scale, leading to more accurate insights and earlier detection of ecosystem changes.</p>
<p>By enabling public participation, the solution democratizes science, creates community ownership of environmental issues, and builds a richer, more diverse dataset for research.</p>]]></potential_impact>
<problem_statement>Researchers studying environmental change often lack continuous, up-to-date field data across wide geographic areas, making it difficult to monitor ecosystems effectively.&#13;
&#13;
Current environmental monitoring relies heavily on costly equipment, satellite imagery, or limited field visits, which creates data gaps.&#13;
&#13;
Public interest in contributing to environmental science is high, but there are few structured, scalable ways to harness citizen participation.&#13;
&#13;
Communities often see environmental changes firsthand, but there is no simple way to share those observations in a way that directly supports scientific research. This results in missed opportunities for collaboration between the public and researchers.</problem_statement>

<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
<p></p><p>Possibly an external repository in which to store the photos contributed by the community</p>

<h3>What challenges would you foresee in implementing this idea?</h3>
<p></p><p>Possibly weeding out spam or invalid photo submissions. Perhaps AI will be able to help with that.</p>]]></solution_proposal>
