Destructive wildfires in Spain and France in July 2026 rank among Europe’s worst in decades. Satellite imagery, including Landsat 9 data and the OnGeo Intelligence platform, reveals the full scale of the damage and proves essential for tracking, assessing, and responding to such disasters.

Satellite data is transforming environmental monitoring by enabling continuous, large-scale observation of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. It helps detect deforestation, track air and water pollution, and monitor ecosystem changes in remote or inaccessible areas. By combining remote sensing with time-series analysis, satellite imagery supports faster, more accurate, and data-driven environmental decision-making.

Satellite imagery enables large-scale, accurate forest monitoring supporting sustainable management, early threat detection, and data-driven decision-making.

Satellite imagery is transforming modern agriculture by enabling real-time crop monitoring, early stress detection, and data-driven decision-making. Learn how NDVI and other vegetation indices support precision farming, optimize resources, and improve yields at farm and regional scales.

Satellite forest monitoring is transforming how we understand and protect the world’s trees. Using satellite earth observation, high-resolution satellite imagery, radar data and AI, modern tree mapping reveals forest cover, density and change at global and national scales. These technologies enable accurate, near-real-time insights to support climate action, biodiversity protection and sustainable land management.

See how Sentinel satellite images show why the deforestation of the Atlantic Forest is a threat to global biodiversity and climate. Learn about the causes and consequences of this silent drama.

Earth observation from space is undergoing a revolution. Thanks to platforms like Planet and data from Sentinel-2 satellites, forest monitoring has become faster and more accurate than ever. This article explores how remote sensing has become a key tool in the fight against deforestation, from verifying supply chains under EUDR to uncovering the hidden scale of forest loss.

The Amazon rainforest, often called the "green lungs of the Earth," plays a vital role in regulating the global climate and supporting rich biodiversity. Yet, this irreplaceable ecosystem is rapidly deteriorating due to relentless deforestation. Each year, satellite images reveal expanding patches of degraded forest, highlighting the urgent need for global action.
