Deforestation Intelligence FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A quick guide to what Deforestation Intelligence can show, how often it can be updated and how the results should be used.
1What is Earth's AI Deforestation Intelligence?
Earth's AI Deforestation Intelligence uses satellite time series to identify likely forest-cover loss and land-cover change.
2What does Deforestation Intelligence monitor or analyse?
It can screen clearing, canopy loss, fragmentation and change patterns across defined areas of interest.
3What data does Deforestation Intelligence use?
The workflow uses optical and, where configured, radar imagery together with land-cover and vegetation indicators.
4How often can Deforestation Intelligence be updated?
Monitoring can be repeated as new imagery becomes available. Cloud cover can affect optical detection, while radar can provide additional continuity in cloudy regions.
5How should Deforestation Intelligence results be used?
Use the results to prioritise verification and compliance review. Satellite change detection does not by itself establish legality, cause or responsibility.
