Addressing deforestation in Myanmar by improving near real-time satellite monitoring
Monitoring forest disturbance in near real-time (NRT) is crucial for mitigation efforts across the world, and this is especially true in countries like Myanmar. As one of the most forested nations in Southeast Asia and home to high levels of biodiversity, the country is disproportionately affected by unchecked forest disturbance, usually from deforestation. Meanwhile, NRT monitoring via remote sensing has been advancing for decades, with recent methods providing promising results.
