The forest is being watched from space. You don't need to stand inside a forest to understand how it's changing. Today, satellites can observe forests from hundreds of kilometers above Earth. They can help track changes in forest cover, identify areas affected by fire or deforestation, and provide data about how landscapes evolve over time.

Combined with field measurements and other monitoring technologies, satellite data is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for conservation. We can observe more, measure more, and make decisions with better information. Protecting nature begins with understanding what's happening on the ground, even when we're looking from space.
