Africa’s commercial forestry sector supports rural livelihoods, drives exports, and promotes sustainable land use. With growing global demand for certified timber, effective monitoring is essential. Swift Geospatial provides satellite and GIS-based tools to help forestry managers track growth, assess forest health, and optimise operations, ensuring plantations remain productive, sustainable, and competitive.
Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) are among the most critical, and potentially dangerous, structures in mining. With several major disasters in recent history, mine owners must prioritise TSF monitoring to protect lives, land, and operations. In this post, Swift Geospatial explores how satellite technology provides a smarter, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional aerial flyovers, delivering early warnings and consistent data, no matter how remote the site.
Remote sensing for mining has reshaped how mine owners manage exploration, safety, and sustainability. From detecting illegal mining activity to monitoring environmental compliance and pit expansion, satellite data and geospatial analysis offer unparalleled visibility, without ever setting foot on site. Learn how Swift Geospatial helps mining operations across Africa stay compliant, efficient, and ahead of the curve.
Swift Geospatial is attending the Deforestation-Free Summit 2025 on February 13–14 in Uxbridge, UK, where Michael Breetzke will present a case study on a successful deforestation monitoring project. Learn how GIS and satellite imagery support EUDR compliance and proactive deforestation risk management. Visit our booth to explore how our cutting-edge monitoring solutions enhance supply chain due diligence and sustainability efforts.
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.
