Forester

Organisations working on forest protection, restoration and carbon accounting need reliable, repeatable monitoring across large and often remote landscapes. FORESTER combines satellite imagery, geospatial analytics and predictive AI to turn voluminous EO data into actionable intelligence for verification, enforcement and project monitoring.

Key capabilities:

• Multi-source EO Ingestion: Integrates optical and SAR imagery (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1, Landsat 8, high-resolution SkySat) to maintain coverage through clouds and variable revisit windows.
• Near-Real-Time Alerting: Automated detection and push alerts (>80% accuracy) for canopy loss, clearing events, fire outbreaks and infrastructure encroachment, delivered directly to mobile devices.
• Predictive Risk Forecasting: Monthly deforestation hotspot forecasts using machine learning models tailored to local context, enabling proactive enforcement before events occur.
• Biomass & Carbon MRV: Vegetation indices and modelled biomass outputs supporting carbon stock assessment and MRV workflows for project developers and compliance teams.
• Automated Reporting & APIs: Compliance-ready reports and REST APIs for integration into partner systems, supporting ESG disclosure and regulatory enforcement requirements.
• Ground-Truth Integration: Participatory tools that combine satellite intelligence with forest-guardian field verification for higher confidence outcomes.

FORESTER is distinctive for its impact-first design: pilot deployments in Indonesia and Brazil covering over 350,000 hectares achieved a 60% reduction in deforestation rates and 80% lower monitoring costs versus traditional field audits. Developed with ESA and Netherlands Space Office support and launched commercially in 2024, it targets forestry companies, conservation organisations and government agencies across Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa.
