Open Foris

Open Foris provides free, open-source solutions specifically tailored for forest and land monitoring. These tools are instrumental in facilitating Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) processes, particularly for environmental integrity, with a significant portion of forest submissions to the UNFCCC utilizing its platforms. The initiative also supports the development of deforestation-free supply chains and advances restoration monitoring through innovative technical solutions, addressing critical global challenges like climate change and human impact on forests.

The platform offers integrated solutions across various stages of land monitoring. Its field data collection mobile application is intuitive and versatile, designed for fast, new-generation data gathering on Android and iOS devices. For visual interpretation, it provides an augmented, custom-built, open-source system for high-resolution satellite image viewing. Furthermore, Open Foris includes an online platform for easy and flexible survey design and data management, alongside powerful geospatial analysis capabilities that leverage the power of Google Earth Engine without requiring coding expertise.
