Forestry

Satellite imagery and spatial technologies help to improve inventory, land administration, sustainable forest planning, timber sales and more. They are actively used for determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of timber as well as to assess damage caused by fires, diseases, air pollution and illegal fells.

Effective forest management is based on the information provided by regular satellite images collection. Results of automatic data processing and analysis enable customers’ awareness providing opportunity for efficient management and future planning.

SOVOZND generates general and custom solutions applicable for forest management:
