“We heard that the preservation of sakura requires manpower and money and that it’s difficult to gather information,” Risa Shioda from Kirin told AFP.<\/p>\n

“I think we can contribute by making it easier to plan for conservation,” she said.<\/p>\n

About 20,000 photos have been collected since the launch last month, with the data available online for free for local authorities.<\/p>\n

Worth a million<\/p>\n

According to Tokyo’s Meguro Ward, famous for its riverbanks lined with cherry trees, replanting a new one costs around one million yen ($6,800). <\/p>\n

Hiroyuki Wada of the Japan Tree Doctors Association, who inspects cherry trees in major spots in Tokyo, helped supervise the AI tool.<\/p>\n

He said he hopes that it will help experts study the environmental reasons behind the degradation of some of the trees he sees.<\/p>\n

In part, he blames climate change. <\/p>\n

“I’m very worried. Changes in the environment are usually gradual, but now it’s visible,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n

“There are impacts from the heat, and of course the lack of rainfall,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
