DOWNLOAD EBOOKMORE RESOURCESMONITOR AND MANAGE FORESTS & LAND USE
Monitor and manage forest assets and operations, track changes in land use and land cover, improve REDD+ MRV, localize deforestation 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
- Leverage sub-1m multispectral SkySat imagery to accurately digitize harvest boundaries
- Coordinate all your global hi-resolution imagery needs through one provider
- Gain certainty around imagery delivery times and reduce other manual efforts to acquire data
Monitor and manage forest assets and operations
Analyze your regions of interest, detect change, and derive timely insights to improve your forest operations and manage forest health.
- Monitor and assess the spread and impact of disease and other significant changes in forest health with RGB and NIR imagery
- Detect and analyze change over time for reporting and inventory assessment using monthly or quarterly cloud-free basemaps.
- Assess the impact of disasters, including wildfires, flooding and hurricanes in the immediate aftermath using high-frequency imagery
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 deforestation and changes in land use
Identify deforestation activity and enforce land use laws 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 3.7m monitoring imagery
- Contextualize changes in land cover with historical imagery through 2009
- Map changing land use patterns with monthly cloud-free coverages
"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
"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
