An untouched natural forest holds far more carbon and biodiversity than a single-species timber plantation harvested every decade or two.

Different forests can look identical from above, so ForTy tracks how they have changed over time. 🌲🛰️
Built on AlphaEarth Foundations, our foundational AI model for planetary data, ForTy reads years of satellite imagery across 1.7M sites to help governments, companies, scientists build deforestation-free supply chains.

@GoogleDeepMind a planetary tree census, one 10x10m patch at a time. your move, ocean people

@GoogleDeepMind The natural/planted/farmed split is the right axis. Question: how does ForTy handle selective logging inside a natural stand - degradation within a class rather than conversion between classes? That edge seems like where the earliest deforestation signals would live.

@GoogleDeepMind Đúng, nhưng công nghệ như ForTy chỉ là công cụ, còn quyết định cuối cùng nằm ở tay chính sách và hành động thực tế.

@GoogleDeepMind a supplier's deforestation-free claim checked against 10m patches of satellite history is way harder to fudge
