MONITOR AND MANAGE FORESTS & LAND USE
Monitor and manage forest assets and operations, track changes in land use and land cover, improve REDD+ MRV, and localize forest clearing in near-real time with high cadence, high resolution imagery.
Optimize your timber harvest operations
Use Planet’s best-in-class imagery to streamline your harvest operations for planning, auditing, and inventory updating
- Automatically map harvest boundaries with very high resolution multispectral SkySat imagery
- Coordinate all your hi-resolution imagery needs through one provider
- Get faster delivery times and reduce other manual efforts to acquire harvest data
Monitor and manage forest assets and operations
Monitor your forest compartments, track harvest progress, and derive timely insights to improve your forest operations and proactively manage forest health.
- Monitor change over time for reporting and inventory analysis using seamless, cloud-free Planet Basemaps on a quarterly or monthly basis
- Assess the impact of disasters, including wildfires, flooding, and hurricanes in the immediate aftermath using high-frequency PlanetScope imagery
- Assess the spread and impact of disease and other significant changes in forest health with NDVI
Improve REDD+ measurement, reporting, and verification
Achieve unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and capacity gains in REDD+ MRV with high resolution, wall-to-wall coverage and historical archive.
- Move from sample-based estimations to broad-area land classification
- Detect forest canopies and estimate carbon stocks and emissions at scale
- Identify deforestation trends since 2009 to assess and manage at-risk areas
Detect illegal deforestation and changes in land use
Identify deforestation activity and enforce land use laws and permitting in near real time with Planet’s high cadence, global imagery.
- Track illegal events, such as large-scale deforestation or selective logging, with high frequency Planet Monitoring
- Contextualize changes in land cover with historical imagery through 2009
- Map changing land use patterns with monthly cloud-free Planet Basemaps
"Planet imagery may be used to detect and map deforestation events greater than one hectare. Results show that change caused by deforestation can be automatically extracted with high accuracy."
Pete Watt, Indufor
"There is no other comparable commercial system offering the combination of sensing large areas in high spatial and temporal resolution."
Petr Lukeš, Czech Republic Forest Management Institute
"Planet’s rapid revisit times and high resolution are the most important factors, giving PlanetScope data advantages over alternatives both in forest monitoring and in forest area estimation."
Dr. Hans Ole Orka, Norwegian University of Life Sciences
