FOREST SHIELD
Protecting forests from space. Proving compliance from orbit.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies to prove their supply chains are deforestation-free. Forest Shield provides continuous orbital monitoring of tropical forests, generating compliance certificates that satisfy EUDR requirements for every shipment of palm oil, cocoa, coffee, rubber, soy, and timber from equatorial nations.
EUDR compliance requires geolocation-tagged proof that commodities were not produced on recently deforested land. With 1.5 billion hectares of tropical forest to monitor, ground-based verification is impossible. Companies face €millions in fines for non-compliance, yet have no reliable way to verify their supply chains.
EquaSat monitors every hectare of tropical forest every 3–5 days using SAR (cloud-penetrating) and optical sensors. AI models detect deforestation events within 48 hours. Compliance certificates are generated automatically for any GPS-tagged plot, providing legally defensible proof for EUDR submissions.
