Tunisia and Italy strengthen cooperation to fight wildfires
The "ForaFire AI" project, launched by the National School of Engineers in Sousse in collaboration with Italian and Tunisian partners, aims to develop an intelligent system based on artificial intelligence, thermal cameras, drones, and satellite imagery for early detection of forest fires. The project is funded by the European Union with a budget of 773,000 euros and brings together research centers and tech companies from both sides of the Mediterranean to reduce response time and avoid false alarms through advanced smoke detection and temperature monitoring technologies. The system will initially be tested in the forests of Bizerte Province, in light of the increasing number of forest fires in Tunisia during the past summer, which destroyed approximately 2,200 hectares of forest.
