Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF)

The Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF) is a scientific organization that collects, analyzes, and shares satellite images of Earth's surface. It helps monitor changes in land use, such as deforestation, urban growth, and agricultural expansion, by providing large amounts of satellite data to researchers, governments, and organizations worldwide. This information supports environmental management, climate studies, and sustainable development. The GLCF makes these images and data accessible online, enabling better understanding and decision-making regarding land use and natural resources globally.
