Monitor deforestation in real-time with satellite imagery + computer vision

Respond 50x faster to deforestation threats with 24-hour detection

Real-time monitoring enables intervention within 24-48 hours vs. discovering damage weeks or months later during ground patrols. Traditional approach: quarterly ground surveys covering <10% of protected area, deforestation discovered average 45 days after occurrence (too late to prevent damage, difficult to prosecute perpetrators). AI approach: daily satellite imagery analysis covering 100% of area, alerts within 24 hours of cloud-free imagery acquisition, field teams dispatched same day. Example impact: National Park reduced illegal logging by 67% in first year through rapid response—perpetrators caught in action vs. discovering abandoned sites months later. Prosecution success rate increased from 12% to 58% due to timely evidence collection.

Monitor 100x more territory than possible with traditional ground patrols

Satellite AI analyzes millions of hectares daily—coverage impossible with limited ranger budgets. Example: Park with 500,000 hectares and 20 rangers. Ground patrols cover ~200 km² per month (0.4% of park area). Satellite monitoring covers 100% of park every 5-10 days (Sentinel-2 revisit frequency), analyzing 6,000+ km² per overpass. Cost per hectare monitored: ground patrols $50-80/ha/year (fuel, ranger time, equipment), satellite AI $0.08-0.15/ha/year (imagery + compute + analysis). Organizations report monitoring 50-100x more territory with satellite approach while redirecting ranger time from routine patrols to high-priority response and community engagement.

Increase enforcement success by 60% through timely evidence and predictive patterns

Rapid detection + historical pattern analysis improves enforcement outcomes dramatically. AI identifies: (1) Hotspots—areas with repeated deforestation attempts, enabling pre-positioned patrols during high-risk periods (dry season, before major holidays), (2) Access routes—clearing patterns reveal illegal logging roads, allowing road blocking strategies, (3) Temporal patterns—activity concentrated in specific months, enabling seasonal enforcement surge. Geo-referenced evidence (satellite images, timestamps, GPS coordinates) admissible in court, increasing prosecution success rates. Example: Indigenous Territory reduced illegal incursions by 63% after 18 months by combining satellite alerts with predictive patrol deployment, allocating ranger resources to predicted high-risk zones rather than random patrols.
