MONITOR AND MANAGE GLOBAL FORESTRY
Understand changes in land use and cover, monitor deforestation and degradation, and optimize operations with high cadence, high resolution imagery. Monitor regions of interest, detect change, and derive timely insights that support forest health.
Detect changes in land use
Observe deforestation activity, enforce land use laws, and efficiently manage global supply chains with frequent global forest imaging.
- Move from sample-based estimations to classifications built on global, high res coverage
- Contextualize current land use and land cover with historical imagery since 2009
- Analyze NDVI in Planet’s analytic daily imagery to automatically detect deforestation
Improve REDD+ Measurement, Reporting, and Verification
Achieve unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and capacity gains in REDD+ MRV with high cadence, high resolution imagery and analytics.
- Move from sample-based estimations to classifications based on wall-to-wall, high resolution coverage
- Detect forest canopies and estimate carbon stocks and emissions at scale
- Accurately measure degradation and associated environmental impact
Manage forest health and operations
Direct scouting, plan logging, and address forest health issues with timely imagery delivery and easy integration with your GIS tools.
- Build custom and authoritative forestry monitoring feeds
- Extract forest vitality information from visual, near-infrared, and red edge bands
- Easily ingest imagery into existing workflows and receive alerts when new imagery is made available
"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
"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
CASE STUDY:
BRANDENBURG FORESTRY AUTHORITY
Since 2013, BFA has managed forest health, targeted insecticide use, and reduced ground-based mapping by 60% with Planet Monitoring.
"Planet’s service is valued not only by the central state forest research facility, but also by the managers and the operating field personnel of the forest districts."
- Dr. Katrin Moeller, Brandenburg Forestry Authority
