"Every Tree in the City, Mapped": https://www.citylab.com/environment/2018/12/urban-tree-canopy-maps-artificial-intelligence-descartes-labs/578701/ "Researchers at Descartes Labs are using artificial intelligence to make a better map of the urban tree canopy." https://medium.com/descarteslabs-team/descartes-labs-urban-trees-tree-canopy-mapping-3b6c85c5c9cc
Mapping every tree on earth with satellites and machine learning (as was just done) is fascinating and impressive. Let's just not forgot that "AI is the triumph of the past over the future" and this easily can lead to "smashing the territory with the map". Perspective matters.

Dreaming the Future - Kenny Ausubel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Ausubel
"We did not come into this world, we came out of it. Like buds out of branches and butterflies out of cocoons. We are a natural product of this earth. and if we turn out to be intelligent beings, that it can only because we're fruits of an intelligent earth which is nourished in turn by an intelligent system of energy" - Lyle Watson
