FOREST INTELLIGENCE ECOSYSTEM
📍 Colombia · 1.0°, -73.0° · Zone 50km · Last updated: 2026-09-18
Dense Tropical Forest · 99.5% forest cover
🛰️ Analyzed by ESA Sentinel-2, NASA Landsat, NASA GEDI LiDAR & NASA FIRMS
This analysis uses real satellite data from 6 sources processed by CanopySat Forest Intelligence:
• ESA Sentinel-2 (10m) — NDVI, NDRE, NBR vegetation indices and forest cover classification
• ESA Sentinel-1 (10m) — SAR radar backscatter for forest structure assessment
• NASA Landsat 8/9 (30m) — 10-year historical vegetation trend analysis
• NASA Landsat 4/5 (30m) — 40-year historical trend since 1984
• NASA FIRMS/VIIRS (375m) — Active fire detection and annual fire pixel count
• NASA GEDI LiDAR (25m) — Canopy height measured by laser from the International Space Station
All data processed via Google Earth Engine. Analysis date: 2026-09-18.
The Colombian Amazon covers approximately 480,000 km² and is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. CanopySat satellite monitoring shows 99.5% forest cover with very low fire activity (25 pixels/year). Despite the stable alert, the negative 3-year trend (-0.020) warrants continued monitoring of this critical carbon sink.
📍 Methodological Note
This analysis covers a 50km sample zone representative of this forest region — not the entire forest. Data comes from real satellites (ESA Sentinel-2, NASA Landsat, NASA GEDI LiDAR) and is updated periodically.
