Monitor illegal harvesting with satellite technology! Illegal logging involves the unlawful harvest and trade of timber, leading to significant deforestation and biodiversity loss. It undermines legitimate economies, costing countries billions annually while fueling corruption and social conflicts. Urgent action is necessary to combat this destructive practice and protect vital forest ecosystems. Here is how you can combat it: 1️⃣ Early Warning System Rapid satellite imagery now provides real-time alerts of ongoing deforestation and illegal harvesting, allowing for fast response. 2️⃣ Precise Quantification We can now calculate deforested areas and estimate potential biomass loss based on tree species and age. 3️⃣ High-Resolution Detection We can detect even subtle vegetation loss and distinguish between legal and illegal harvesting using optical or SAR sensors with meter-level resolution. 4️⃣ Species-Specific Monitoring The technology quantifies tree loss by species, providing data for targeted conservation efforts. This approach helps forest management, enhances law enforcement, and supports global efforts to preserve our precious forest resources. 🌏 Eartheye Space makes deforestation monitoring uber-easy. 🛰 Ask for a demo at www.eartheye.space or register at tasking.eartheye.space. 💲 Pay as you task, from your annual US$5,000 (min) credit. ✅ Available for any size organisation. ♻ Please repost or share with anyone you know who may be interested in solving strategic and operational issues with Earth Observation. #ForestConservation #IllegalLogging #SatelliteTechnology #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing #Sensors #GeoSpatialData #MultiSpectralImaging #HyperSpectralImaging #SAR #Tasking #EartheyeSpace

Here's an article referencing a study based on a new model developed by scientists at the Yale School of the Environment and funded by the Global Rewilding Alliance, with the bison paper funded by WWF Netherlands. The model, which has been published and peer reviewed in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, calculates the additional amount of atmospheric CO2 (up to 9.8 x) that wildlife species help to capture and store in soils through their interactions within ecosystems. Yet another proof that allowing free roaming bovine to improve our soils, biodiversity and ecosystems isn't all bad... #biodiversity #carboncycle

🗺️ New mapping tool shows #ExtinctionRisk hotspots on a global level. The Land-cover change Impacts on Future Extinctions (LIFE) metric uses habitat data on over 30 000 vertebrate species to show where land-use change -- like converting forest to arable land -- has the highest impact on extinction risk probability for species present in that area. The extinction risk maps can be used at scales from 0.5km-1000 km2 and can estimate the impact of diverse actions that affect change in land cover, from decisions as small as an individual dietary choice through to large-scale conservation projects. Get the detail behind this powerful new tool:

A thought over lunchtime... Coming from a farming family, I've often been reminded "they're not making land anymore" and that it is a limited resource. It is however a resource which has never been more in demand both for the "traditional" demands of urbanisation, agriculture, raw materials etc. but increasingly and rapidly for "new" demands of climate, renewables, flood resilience and biodiversity recovery etc. Given it's a limit resource and we are increasingly demanding of it, should we not better apply the concept of "stacked benefits" to ensure that we make the best and most sustainable use of this land? If so, what can be done to better coordinate the application of such a concept between all the demands? #ecology #biodiversity #nature #ecosystem #land #planning #policy #stackedbenefit

Canopy height is a vital ecosystem structure metric and proxy for the development, maturity and blue carbon storage and sequestration capacity of mangrove forests. At Ocean Ledger, we are utilizing multi-modal satellite data analytics supercharged by machine learning to accurately quantify mangrove canopy height, from a few hectares to 6.7 million ha, as displayed in the figure of Sundarbans—the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world. This metric can be utilized to: ✅Design, implement and verify robust and transparent blue carbon MRV ✅Assess the overall ecosystem condition of mangroves ✅Forecast ROI carbon and biodiversity uplift of restoration activities #BlueCarbon #MangroveConservation #Biodiversity #EcosystemRestoration
