Forests are a major environmental resource, key to fight against climate change, critical for biodiversity conservation, and source to meet the growing demand for bio products and wood security.
The sector is challenged due to dwindling forest cover, plant diseases, low productivity, forest fires, deforestation, amongst other issues.
Highly accurate and detailed data through LiDAR can transform forest planning and management and its environmental impacts, through 3D forest structure data, and laser pulses not obstructed by canopy or vegetation cover, unlike traditional sources.
