Using Technology To Regrow Decimated Forests with Jad Daley.

What do data centers and forests have in common? In this episode, I sit down with CEO of American Forest, Jad Daley. I was amazed at how relevant our conversation was for today. Bringing together science and technology through big data and analytics with a heart for managing our natural resources in a smart and bi partisan way – you will love this conversation – on the next QTS experience.

About American Forests:

"We have worked longer than any national nonprofit conservation organization in the United States to protect and restore the country’s forests. Since our founding in 1875, we have been the pathfinders for the forest conservation movement. In the early 1900s, for example, we rallied forest advocates to champion creation of the U.S. Forest Service. In 2018, we won a decade-long campaign persuading Congress to provide stable funding for preventing and fighting forest fires. Now we are focused on building a reforestation movement in America, from cities to large, rural landscapes. We all rely on forests in order to survive and thrive, given the power they have to filter our air and water, provide jobs, mitigate climate change and more. But our forests are being degraded and destroyed at a rapid pace and large scale. If we take care of our forests, they will take care of us."
