Case Study
PLANET IMAGERY FOR LAND USE AND LAND COVER MONITORING
Forest and land resource managers are tasked with monitoring hundreds of acres of land that require routine inspections to understand the health and productivity of their assets. But manual field inspections take time, especially in areas of rough terrain and require expensive labor to complete. T o protect their forests from disease and degradation, managers need to identify changes in a timely manner. Land managers are faced with the overwhelming challenge of knowing exactly where change is happening, so they deploy the right resources where and when they are needed most. Indufor offers a land monitoring system that continuously scans resources for indicators of change. Indufor also supports land use and land cover monitoring with their Canopy Index.
