The world’s forests cover one-third of the planet’s land surface, and it is necessary to sustain life with this geography. There is enough food, water, and energy for us to live off of them. Forest fires have recently surpassed all other forms of environmental degradation as the leading cause of death and destruction on Earth. Wildfires in the Amazon rain forest charred hundreds of hectares of land in 2019. A well-structured forest-monitoring system has been put in place in order to keep an eye on it. Incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing systems is a real game-changer. The wireless network has made use of both of these techniques in recent times. This paper discusses the various technologies that keep track of the forest’s environmental conditions in real time and identify wildfires. Based on the information, the alerts are passed to the authorities to take action and protect the forest from further damage.
