Mangroves store up to five times more carbon than rainforest trees and are a vital component of the UAE\u2019s ecosystem and the world\u2019s fight against climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNabat exemplifies how the UAE is leveraging advanced technology to benefit humanity,\u201d said H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, the Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC). \u201cBy merging innovation with science, we\u2019re driving efforts to restore ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen climate resilience to accelerate our country\u2019s journey to net-zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnology and nature are often seen to be at odds\u2014but when we combine technology with science-based research to solve critical problems, technology can become one of nature\u2019s most powerful allies,\u201d said Dr. Najwa Aaraj, the CEO of the Technology Innovation Institute, ATRC\u2019s applied research arm and the developer of the technology behind Nabat. \u201cOur system is helping solve several critical challenges related to conservation, one of the most important being data gathering. No two ecosystems are alike \u2013 each needs a customized, data-driven approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nabat\u2019s AI and robotics enable precision mapping, seeding, and monitoring, ensuring conservation and restoration is tailored to each ecosystem\u2019s unique and complex needs. Unlike traditional mangrove planting, which is labor-intensive and can even harm surrounding ecosystems, Nabat\u2019s system touches habitats as lightly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>During the mapping stage, Nabat\u2019s technology provides vast amounts of data about soil as well as the density, elevation, and hydrology of natural habitats. The drone\u2019s seeding mechanism uses optimized trajectory planning and flexible seeding patterns to ensure seeds are planted precisely and only as they are needed. The system also has monitoring capabilities to help ensure planted trees grow safely.<\/p>\n<p>Nabat\u2019s technology works even in hard-to-reach, remote areas, allowing conservation and restoration efforts to scale efficiently while minimizing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Reda Nidhakou, the Acting CEO of VentureOne, Nabat\u2019s parent company, said, \u201cThe soul of VentureOne is launching startups that bring groundbreaking technology to the world. The most valuable technology isn\u2019t just innovative, efficient, or profitable\u2014it most importantly makes a measurable positive impact. It\u2019s been a privilege to work hand-in-hand with the team and our broader ecosystem to contribute to the UAE\u2019s sustainability journey in such a fundamental way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the company\u2019s initial focus will be on mangroves in the UAE, they plan to expand to other parts of the region and service additional ecosystems, including desert areas, farmland, forests, and coral reefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Advanced Technology Research Council\u2019s VentureOne has unveiled Nabat, a new climate tech venture that will conserve and restore mangroves and other ecosystems across the region using AI and robotics, at the International Mangrove Conservation and Restoration Conference in Abu Dhabi.
