Tropical Forest Observatory

The Tropical Forest Observatory provides comprehensive, high-resolution satellite monitoring capabilities crucial for addressing the urgent issue of tropical forest loss. This initiative utilizes advanced remote sensing technology to deliver precise and actionable insights into forest dynamics, enabling stakeholders to track changes, identify threats, and implement timely interventions.

Leveraging data from Planet's constellations, including SuperDove (PlanetScope) and SkySat, the observatory offers unparalleled detail and frequency in imagery. This allows for the continuous observation of vast forest areas, providing critical information for understanding deforestation patterns, illegal logging, and other environmental impacts. The service integrates various Planet products like Monitoring, Tasking, Analytic Feeds, and Planetary Variables to deliver a robust solution.

This powerful tooling supports a wide range of applications in forestry and land use, civil governments, and sustainability initiatives. It aids in the development of effective conservation strategies, enhances forest management practices, and helps organizations achieve their environmental goals by providing the data needed for informed decision-making and accountability.
