How satellite imagery is helping stop deforestation with Tasso Azevedo and Anna Rothschild
About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of deforestation and how satellite imagery is used to combat it.
From local parks to the Amazon rainforest, trees provide shade and shelters for humans, animals, insects, and many other living creatures. They’re the lungs of our planets, but they’re being threatened by deforestation. In this episode, Sherrell is sharing two talks on what happens if the entire Amazon rainforest disappears… and how one land reformer is using satellite imagery to hold tree cutters accountable.
