The Crisis We Face

These aren't just numbers. They represent real lives, real forests, and a preventable crisis.

Human Tragedy

Over 20+ Environmental Volunteers have died in the Zagros region fighting fires with empty hands. These are real people - fathers, mothers, sons, daughters - who risked everything to protect our forests.

Lives Lost

Ecological Destruction

~21,000 Hectares of precious forests are lost annually in Iran. The Persian Oak, a keystone species, is disappearing forever, taking with it entire ecosystems and amplifying climate change.

Forests Lost

Preventable Disasters

90%+ of wildfires in Iran are caused by human activity. These aren't natural disasters - they're preventable tragedies that destroy lives, livelihoods, and our planet's future.

Human-Caused

This is why PYRO-GUARD exists. We refuse to accept these losses as inevitable.

The Cost of Inaction

Why Pyro-Guard exists — the human and ecological crisis we're solving

Human Cost

Over 20+ Environmental Volunteers have died in the Zagros region in the last decade, fighting fires with empty hands. Pyro-Guard saves lives.

Ecological Loss

~21,000 Hectares of forests are lost annually in Iran, destroying the Persian Oak (a keystone species) and amplifying CO₂ emissions.

Root Cause

90%+ of wildfires in Iran are caused by human activity. We need a solution that addresses both prevention and human engagement.

Core Technology & Innovation

Four revolutionary pillars working in harmony

01

Predictive AI Fusion

Our self-tuned AI Brain achieves pre-emption by fusing low-cost IoT micro-climate data (Temp, CO₂, Soil Moisture) with Open-Source Satellite data. We predict threats hours before ignition, moving beyond simple detection.

Hours of Advance Warning
02

Low-Cost LoRa IoT Network

The system's backbone uses custom-built, solar-powered nodes forming an efficient LoRa mesh. Designed for domestic manufacturing and 10+ years of maintenance-free operation. This is the most affordable scalable solution available.

10+ Years Maintenance-Free
03

Pyro-Guard Mates Program

Our critical social solution. We transform the human factor from risk to protective asset by engaging local communities as verified field agents and early reporters. This network closes the loop on human-caused risk.

Community-Powered Protection
04

Robotics in Action

The rapid response team. Our Robo-Truck features a unique fireline-digging capability to create containment barriers autonomously, securing the fire zone before human entry. Drones provide real-time thermal mapping.

Autonomous Response

Goals & Vision

Building a sustainable, open-source future for wildfire prevention

National Resilience

To establish Pyro-Guard as the national standard for wildfire prediction in Iran, starting with the vulnerable Zagros and Hyrcanian forests.

Technological Self-Sufficiency

To prove that highly effective environmental technology can be affordable, open-source, and manufactured locally, eliminating reliance on expensive foreign imports.

Global Blueprint

To offer the Pyro-Guard model (hardware schematics and AI framework) as a free, scalable blueprint for any country facing wildfire risks and resource constraints.

Long-Term Vision

To adapt the core Pyro-Guard technology for fire risk monitoring across vital sectors, including Agricultural Lands, Industrial Plants, and National Parks.
