Challenge
Deforestation jeopardizes the livelihood of millions and accounts for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions. Illegal logging is a global problem: forests are cut down for unregulated timber sales, and farmers are clearing out land for agriculture and cattle ranching. Activities like this can be hard to detect with conventional methods.
Solution
With the ability to see through darkness, clouds or fog, and to frequently monitor vast areas, SAR imagery from ICEYE is perfectly suited for persistent monitoring of deforestation. Get the information you need for mapping and measuring forest loss, taking timely action against illegal deforestation, planning reconstruction activities, analyzing the impact on carbon emissions, and more.
Challenge
Unauthorized mining and other illegal activities in rainforests can be highly difficult to detect when they are covered by a dense forest canopy.
Solution
SAR satellite data from ICEYE enables the detection of forensic-level changes and activities in large areas, anywhere on the planet.
Challenge
Forest fires, both accidental and intentional, are causing increasingly severe damages year after year. Even when they do not completely destroy the affected areas, they make forests less resilient to future damages and threaten their ability to capture and store carbon.
Solution
With the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, ICEYE enables you to monitor wide forest areas for possible wildfires, around the clock and in any weather, and to respond to them quicky.
