Digital Forestry
Forest mapping, deforestation monitoring, and carbon estimation through remote sensing.
The High Commission for Water and Forests manages 5.8 million hectares. The Pôle Digital's Agriculture et Foresterie 4.0 programme has made forest digitalisation a strategic priority. Remote sensing enables continuous monitoring — fires, deforestation, health — without costly field team deployments for each inspection.
Our services
- Digital forest inventory via remote sensing (Agriculture et Foresterie 4.0)

Our approach
Step 01
Reference mapping
Forest inventory via remote sensing (Sentinel / LiDAR), stand delineation, and baseline estimation of biomass and carbon stocks.
Step 02
Continuous monitoring
Change detection (deforestation, fires, regeneration), automated anomaly alerts, and real-time tracking of reforestation projects.
Step 03
Reports and MRV
Periodic forest reports, monitoring platforms, and MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) calculations for carbon credits and international funders.
