Our starting pointA collaboration with Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE):
● Leader in deforestation monitoring,
● Responsible for the DETER program (Real Time Deforestation Detection System),
● Trains monitoring teams from other developing countries, and
● Supports open data policies. And UNOSAT, experts in delivering imagery analysis and satellite solutions.
Ask volunteers to check for deforested areas in satellite images
