" summary

Forester detects and monitors illegal deforestation globally by running a pre-trained open-source AI on public satellite imagery and sending email alerts whenever new loss appears inside user-drawn polygons. The live demo shows an interactive web map with layers for 10-year loss and protected areas, dynamic freeform monitoring, and initial heatmap scans. Infrastructure runs on Kubernetes with Ingress, Keycloak auth, Argo CD sync, GitLab CI and Harbor image registry. Prototype is deployed and functional, won second place at the KubeCon hackathon, with a minor demo hiccup.
