NASA Forest Resources Assessment

The NASA Forest Resources Assessment is a project that uses satellite technology to monitor and evaluate forests around the world. It collects and analyzes data on forest cover, health, and changes over time. By doing so, it helps scientists and policymakers understand the state of global forests, track deforestation, and assess the impact of climate change. This information is vital for sustainable forest management, conservation efforts, and understanding their role in the Earth's ecosystem and climate. Overall, it provides crucial insights for protecting and managing forest resources.
