"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
