## Caption

🌲 Trees now have a way to "call for help" when threatened by illegal logging. The Rainforest Connection created a system using solar-powered phones with microphones placed in treetops. These devices detect chainsaw sounds up to 1km away and immediately alert local partners who can intervene within minutes. ⁠
⁠
The low-cost devices have no negative ecological impact and have successfully protected forests and wildlife in places like Indonesia. This innovation helps combat illegal logging, which accounts for up to 90% of rainforest deforestation.⁠
