Understand the starting point before intervention
Baseline habitat mapping: Rapidly create detailed maps of current ecosystem conditions for project areas using recent satellite data and other geospatial data sets.
Protect project sites from threats
Early warning for degradation / stress: Identify areas showing signs of stress (e.g., drought impact on vegetation, potential disease outbreaks) earlier than might be possible with ground surveys alone.
Learn from the past to plan the future
Access historical satellite imagery and data layers (e.g., past vegetation cover, water availability, biodiversity records) to understand long-term site dynamics. Use this knowledge to inform site selection, identify priority areas, intervention design, and more, for successful outcomes.
Quantify restoration outcomes
Generate objective, quantifiable data on project achievements (e.g., hectares sucessfully revegetated, percentage increase in vegetation indices) for reporting.
Save time & resources on fieldwork
Optimize field survey planning: Use satellite data insights to identify areas of significant change or specific interest, allowing for more targeted and efficient ground-truthing and fieldwork.
Cost-effevtive large-area surveillance
Monitor vast, remote, or inaccessible areas more frequently and affordably.
