deforestation monitoring

Deforestation monitoring involves tracking changes in forested areas over time using tools like satellite images, aerial photography, and geographic information systems (GIS). These technologies allow scientists and environmentalists to detect, measure, and analyze the loss of trees and natural habitats. Monitoring helps identify illegal logging, track the impact of human activities, and assess environmental health. It provides essential data for policymakers and conservation efforts, ensuring sustainable forest management and protection of ecosystems. Overall, it is a way to keep a close eye on forests to preserve their ecological and economic value.
