Global Land Cover Facility
The Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF) is an organization that collects and shares detailed satellite images of the Earth’s surface. These images show how land is used and what it looks like, such as forests, cities, fields, and water bodies. The GLCF provides this data to researchers, governments, and organizations to help understand environmental changes, manage natural resources, and plan land use. Using advanced satellite technology, the facility offers accurate and up-to-date land cover information on a global scale, supporting efforts to monitor and protect our planet’s ecosystems.
