On 12 May 2021, the World Resources Institute (WRI) is hosting a webinar on "Advances in Forest Monitoring Alert Systems".
It is difficult to act on deforestation if we don’t know when and where it is happening. Near-real-time deforestation alerts can help fill this gap and provide critical information for further investigation and action.
Global Forest Watch (GFW) has recently added two new deforestation alert systems – Radar for Detecting Deforestation (RADD) alerts and new GLAD-S2 deforestation alerts – both of which offer a more detailed look at what is occurring on the ground.
