  • Interactive Web Mapping: Enables users to explore forest loss, plantation expansion, and other land cover changes across the five covered countries with maps and infographics.
  • Satellite Data Integration: Provides visual access to satellite imagery allowing historical and real-time verification of land-use changes.
  • Deforestation & Fire Monitoring: Tracks annual deforestation and plantation expansion trends, along with near real-time deforestation and fire alerts.
  • Cadastral & Administrative Data: Offers a rich dataset of cadastral information, including concessions, administrative boundaries, and land tenure data, to provide context for deforestation analysis.
  • Time-Lapse Satellite Animations: Generates satellite time-lapse animations, enabling users to visualize landscape changes over time.
  • Automated Reporting: Generates deforestation reports based on available platform data (the “Reports”), offering insights into deforestation dynamics in your chosen land plots.
