🗺 Prolonged public access to high-resolution rainforest satellite images 🗺 Our agreement with the satellite program providers is extended until January 23, 2025. This extension ensures that users will not lose access to satellite monitoring of tropical forests before a more long-term solution is in place. Since 2020, we have offered users worldwide free access to high-resolution and analysis-ready images of the world's tropical regions. The images are provided by Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) and partners Airbus and Planet. We announced earlier this year a public tender for a new contract on satellite data for four years with the possibility of two extensions of one year. This new phase will be co-financed with Bezos Earth Fund. The process of entering a new long-term agreement is proceeding as planned and will not be affected by this extension. ⭐ Since the program’s launch, tens of thousands of users around the world have utilized free, high-resolution images of the tropics. Feedback show that access to updated high-resolution satellite data is crucial for understanding and responding to tropical deforestation ⭐ #deforestation #forest #nature #environment
