TAKE ACTION

Strategy.

Satellite

Monitoring

Satellites are able to monitor changes in forest landscapes by combining a large swath, frequent revisit and systematic acquisition of high spatial resolution data.

Prevention and Deterrence of Wildlife Crime

Our local partners and law enforcement agencies are then equipped with the tools and techniques to prevent and deter wildlife crime.

Terrestrial

Sensors

We install a range of terrestrial sensors that compliment our satellite monitoring in order to detect disturbance and maintain rangers' domain awareness; thus allowing safe decision making and appropriate responses.

Forest Protection Services

Our forest protection services help reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation which, when combined with sustainable management of forests, is an essential part of the global effort to mitigate climate change.

Forest Ranger Training

Training and implementation of enhanced situational awareness capabilities using advanced Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTP's).

Alternative and Sustainable Livelihoods

We work closely with local partners to support communities to develop alternative and sustainable livelihoods, away from illegal forestry trades.
