Machine Learning (ML) for data processing, facial recognition, and recommendation systems and to create real-time personalisation have been making headlines. The trend seems perfect until we recognise that humanity needs to tackle their self-created worst problem – case in point, environmental degradation.

From devastating fires in California’s forest every year and flooding in Europe to the increasing intensity of cyclones in South-east Asia and damaging corals along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, act as a warning by nature to better understand or perish forever. So, can machine learning be an answer to bring about environmental justice from a mere concept to reality?
