🌍🌱 Deforestation Continues in Gorontalo, Pohuwato 🚨 Despite ongoing regulatory measures and conservation efforts, deforestation in Indonesia’s Gorontalo, Pohuwato persists—posing serious challenges to sustainability goals. Satellite technology is now at the forefront of exposing and addressing these critical issues. Monitoring these changes is essential for understanding the scale of the issue and driving accountability. Here’s how we’re making it possible: 📡 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 We use 10-meter-resolution satellite imagery combined with daily data from European Space Agency - ESA, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Planet going back to the 1980s. This allows us to monitor land cover changes with high accuracy, ensuring every shift is accounted for. 🔄 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 By analysing decades of satellite data, we track deforestation trends over time. This long-term view helps identify persistent patterns and provides a clear basis for accountability. 🤝 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 These insights are more than compliance tools—they’re a catalyst for industries to embrace innovative, sustainable practices. By doing so, companies can foster stronger, more transparent relationships with global consumers and stakeholders. 📩 Want to see how this technology can help achieve your sustainability goals?

🚨 In Côte d’Ivoire, open datasets misclassified 60% of cocoa plantations as forests. Satelligence’s analysis revealed that only 12% was forest cover in comparison to the 40-95% range provided by various open data sources. These misclassifications create false alerts, waste resources, unfairly exclude smallholder farmers, and increase compliance risks. As Science Magazine highlights, flawed detection systems make EUDR compliance even more challenging—underscoring the need for dependable data sources. At Satelligence, we deliver high-resolution, agroforestry-sensitive insights that avoid costly errors. Our data empowers companies to meet EUDR standards confidently while supporting smallholder farmers and ensuring sustainable decisions. 🌍 👉 Read the full article in Science Magazine: https://lnkd.in/euhy3FEN #Deforestation #Cocoa #EUDR #Satelligence #SustainableSupplyChain

Get to know Eric Verhoeff, our Product Manager! ✨ ☕️ Eric joined Satelligence after what started as a casual coffee with one of our founders in the beautiful Utrecht office, which quickly led to him becoming part of the team! While there are plenty of meaningful causes in the remote sensing industry, Eric says it's the Satelligence culture that drew him in. "Every morning, you're met with smiles and jokes as you dive into work on the often challenging issues of deforestation and ecosystem conversion. We take our work seriously, but ourselves not too much!" As Product Manager, Eric plays a central role in shaping our product strategy. He works closely with cross-functional teams to align features with customer needs, industry trends, and regulatory requirements. "Aligning teams is never a trivial task," he explains. "But I love building productive and trusted relationships—it's what I enjoy most about my job." Outside of work, Eric is an avid racket sports enthusiast 🎾 Whether it's tennis, table tennis (he even built his own table growing up!), or the fast-paced game of padel, you'll often find him on the court, perfecting his forehand. #TeamSpotlight #Satelligence #RemoteSensing #Sustainability

❓ Did you know orangutans are key to maintaining healthy ecosystems? 🐒 Often called the "gardeners of the forest," orangutans play a vital role in preserving tropical forests, which are critical carbon sinks that help regulate our climate. Unfortunately, rapid deforestation in Southeast Asia has threatened both their habitats and the forests we rely on. The good news? 🌱 Since 2016, deforestation in protected areas has been steadily decreasing, thanks to stronger conservation efforts and the power of advanced monitoring technology. Real-time data and precise tracking are enabling organisations to implement more effective conservation strategies, ensuring sustainable resource access and deforestation-free supply chains. 👀 Curious about how our tech is driving this change?

🍫🇨🇮 Connecting with Our Clients in Côte d'Ivoire: The Cocoa Powerhouse The Satelligence team visited Côte d'Ivoire and connected with our client, COCOASOURCE and their team at OCEAN SA. Ingrid van Beuzekom and Mamadou K. got an up-close look at how our satellite monitoring platform is embedded into daily operations, supporting a truly sustainable cocoa supply chain. A highlight? ✨ Cocoasource is using the Satelligence Sustainable Sourcing Platform to check farm polygons for deforestation before trucks even reach their warehouse! 🚚 This allows for real-time monitoring and compliance, ensuring that commodities from deforested land do not get the chance to enter Cocoasource's supply chains—a crucial step for sustainable sourcing and forest protection. You can tell by the team's smiles that we're very proud to be part of this impact-driven partnership! 🌱 #Satelligence #CocoaSustainability #DeforestationFree #EUDR
