Not all forests are equal, and now we can map the difference. 🌳
Meet Forest Typology (ForTy): a 10m map of natural, planted, and farmed forests to help identify deforestation and protect the forests that matter most. 🧵

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 Fascinating supply-chain use case.
AI is not only optimizing an existing supply chain here — it is creating visibility that previously didn't exist.
Traceability may increasingly become something we continuously observe, rather than something suppliers simply report.

@GoogleDeepMind Không phải chỉ nhìn từ trên cao mà thấy giống nhau thôi, ForTy còn so sánh hàng trăm nghìn điểm dữ liệu qua nhiều năm để phát hiện sự thay đổi nhỏ nhất.
