Planet’s Forest Carbon is a first-of-its-kind satellite-powered solution that measures and monitors aboveground forest carbon with unmatched accuracy and scale. The product leverages Planet’s high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced deep learning models trained on LiDAR data, providing precise measurements of forest carbon stocks and changes.
Swift Geospatial is excited to participate in the Deforestation-Free Summit 2025, where Co-founder Michael Breetzke will present a case study on successful deforestation monitoring using satellite technology. With the upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Swift Geospatial is ready to support companies in meeting compliance standards and advancing their sustainability goals.
We're on the brink of a new era in satellite technology, and the Wyvern Constellation is leading the charge. This groundbreaking advancement is set to revolutionize the way we observe and interact with our planet. Whether it’s tracking environmental changes, boosting agricultural efficiency, managing resources, or enhancing national security, Wyvern's high-resolution data is changing the game.
The European Commission’s recent proposal to delay the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by one year is a timely opportunity for businesses, especially those that deal with commodities such as soy, beef, coffee, and timber.
The cocoa industry is grappling with an unprecedented crisis as cocoa prices skyrocket, doubling since the beginning of the year, as key producing countries in Africa are hard-hit by extreme climate change events, outbreaks of disease impacting crops and financial uncertainty. How have smallholder cocoa farmers been impacted and what can be done to help them? How does the EU Deforestation Regulation factor into this, given that cocoa is listed as one of the high-risk deforestation commodities?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a crucial measure to reduce global deforestation caused by major EU-imported goods and commodities. Two of the top deforestation drivers include cocoa and coffee. Find out more about these commodities, their impact and what EUDR hopes to achieve as well as how Swift Geospatial is able to assist in the monitoring of cocoa plantations across the globe.
EUDR aims to curb deforestation, forest degradation, and general environmental and human rights infractions in the production and consumption of certain imported and exported goods and commodities within the EU. Find out more about EUDR, why it matters and how Swift Geospatial can assist your business compliance through GIS and remote sensing solutions.
Ensuring the most efficient and future-proof forestry monitoring and management processes are in place is fundamental to long-term environmental, economic and social sustainability. Using precision forestry, which focuses on integrating new technology into these processes, is the answer.
When it comes to forestry management and planning, the more information you have at your fingertips the better you can get a bird’s-eye view of potential risks, such as climate change and deforestation. However, sifting through this information and understanding how to use different pieces of data for actionable outcomes is even more critical. And that is where Decision Support Systems (DSS) play a vital role.
Because more and more people are living in cities, this means that cities are growing and changing all the time. To manage this growth, we need to monitor change detection in cities to see what’s happening and what we need to do. Change detection monitoring means comparing pictures of cities taken from satellites or planes at different times to see what has changed, like new buildings, land use changes, or changes in green areas.
