These images show deforestation near the border of Chiribiquete National Natural Park in the Colombian Amazon from August 2017 through August 2019. Planet's Basemaps provide global, cloud-free, monthly snapshots that allow monitoring of forests and other persistently cloudy areas.
These PlanetScope images show deforestation that occurred between February 15, 2019 and July 9, 2019 in the province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
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
"Very early on, we recognised Planet's daily imagery product as a game-changer for forest operations management. We wanted to ensure New Zealand forestry companies were at the forefront of the spatial and temporal resolution this technology offers"
