New era in Forestry Data collection: Innovative tools - Foris and SEPAL

 

Link: Foris

You might be amazed by this new innovation made by Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) in collaboration with over 70 countries. Open Foris is designed as an innovative toolkit for researchers fro detecting, analysing, monitoring & reporting the changes within the Earth. FORIS is web based platform that provides the data service. Tools within the Menu bar has Solutions section where you can find the different tools to use them & collect informations. These tools are designed to help governments, forest manageres, researchers, & other stakeholder in monitoring and managing their forest resources more efficiently & efffectively.

If you open this 'Foris', it will take you to the website. It offers a suite of applications including tools for data collection, analysis, visualization, and reporting that can be customized to meet the specific needs for users. Foris also provides access to a variety of satellite imagery, as well as other sources of information, such as ground-based measurements and socio-economic data. 

SEPAL on the other hand is a cloud-based platform that provides easy & rapid access to satellite imagery & other data for forest monitoring and analysis. It used cutting-edge technology. Such as artificial technology (AI) & Machine learning algorithms to help users analyze and interpret large amounts of data quickly & accurately. SEPAL also provides a range of tools for mapping data visualization & reporting which can help users better understand the current state of their forests & make informed decisions about how to manage them.

The FAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to eradicate hunger promote sustainable agriculture and forestry & achieve food security for all. FAO is responsible for promoting the sustainable management of forest & other natural resources and has been at the forefront of efforts to develop innovative tools & technologies for forest monitoring & management. Through initiatives such as Foris & SEPAL. FAO is helping countries around the world to improve their forest monitoring & management practices & promote the sustainable use of forest resources.

I tried Earth Map you also can go through the link you can access you can statistically assess every data of the world. It has accessed every data as you can see in the video.



Collect Earth – Open Foris  & Calc – Open Foris are free and open-source software. There are videos on youtube if you need any guidance on how to carry out the work you can go through the link that I have provided in this blog.
