Monitoring

“Satellite monitoring technology lets us monitor every landowner and so protect every tree.”

The critical role of satellite monitoring
Monitoring plays a critical role in upholding the accountability of Carbono Biodiverso. By putting technology and human expertise in service of nature, we ensure careful oversight at every stage of the Carbono Biodiverso process. By using satellite imagery and deforestation indicators, we ensure each project's ongoing integrity and carbon permanence can be independently monitored and verified.

Satellite monitoring capabilities
OpenForest’s satellite software provides continuous, verifiable data at the landscape level. Capable of detecting even minimal changes in tree cover, it enables precise monitoring of each participating landowner’s property and the safeguarding of every tree.

The software allows projects to be plotted on an interactive satellite map, over which  monitoring criteria can be applied from an extensive library of native thematic layers, such as Tree Cover Gain and Soil Carbon Density. These layers are powered by reliable third-party satellite data, updated as often as twice daily, and backed by historical timelines to track changes over days and years.Custom monitoring options, such as drone imagery and AI-driven change detections, are also available for specific project needs.

On-site monitoring
Above and on the ground
Satellite imagery alone though isn’t sufficient. Carbon Biodiverso ensures regular on-site visits to ensure passive regeneration is progressing as intended. This approach depends on carefully monitoring for the absence of specific threats. Activities such as cattle grazing, tree harvesting, and the use of fire are strictly prohibited for participating landowners. Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda conducts routine field inspections to detect any such violations, as well as to monitor for signs of forest disease, pest outbreaks, or harm to native wildlife.
