The Moon-BioSentinel project aims to develop a comprehensive, production-ready platform for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem health using advanced space and AI technologies. This platform is designed for the GLOC 2026 Innovation Challenge, focusing on Rwanda's national parks and urban green corridors.
Moon-BioSentinel integrates high-resolution satellite data with ground-based IoT sensors to provide real-time insights into biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. It leverages Next.js, TypeScript, and React for the frontend, with a FastAPI Python backend. The system uses PostGIS and TimescaleDB for geospatial data management and PyTorch for machine learning models.
The homepage will feature an interactive "Digital Ecosystem Twin" of Rwanda's national parks. Users can explore a 3D landscape using @react-three/fiber, with real-time data overlays for wildlife tracking and environmental conditions. Hovering over elements reveals detailed information, and clicking allows deeper exploration. The design will use gsap for smooth transitions and animations, creating an immersive experience.
The landing page will use a "parallax" interaction model, with layered depth effects as users scroll. Atmospheric elements will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect. Internal pages will be "static" for clarity and ease of use, focusing on data presentation and user interaction.
This document outlines the foundational requirements and design concepts for the Moon-BioSentinel project, setting the stage for development and implementation.

BioSentinel fuses space technology, AI, and ground intelligence to monitor, protect, and restore biodiversity and ecosystem health in real time.
