Carbon & Reforestation

Turnkey carbon and reforestation project monitoring, reporting, and verification

Remote sensing data and metrics at your fingertips for digital MRV
Powering real-world impact

The right tools

  • Visualize vegetation layers and analyze trends over time
  • Order imagery from a range of high-resolution commercial sources, pay for only what you need 
  • Receive alerts when forest loss events occur on your properties
  • Easily view and analyze historical data for a look back at land use history and site context
  • Generate clear and compelling project reports for stakeholders 
  • Leverage expert analysis and reporting to help you scale, with third-party validation of your findings

The right data

  • Vegetation layers (NDVI) derived from Sentinel-2 (capturing globally every 5 days) and Landsat-8
  • Commercial satellite and aerial imagery from Airbus, Maxar, Nearmap, Planet and others
  • Satellite mosaics from Planet NICFI in the tropics 
  • Affordable tasking options from satellite vendors
  • Landcover data from partners like the European Space Agency and the National Land Cover Database 
  • Up-to-date ownership and parcel information from ReGrid (U.S. only)
"Having access to high resolution satellite imagery through the Lens platform enables our project managers to assess and monitor high quality planting projects globally and report on forest metrics to our partners and donors. They take on the hard work of remotely sensed data acquisition, processing and interpretation so we can focus on planting trees and supporting our partners."
