Each of the impacts below is made possible by three interlocking forest monitoring methods: field data collection using solutions like Open Foris Ground, Earth Observation analysis drawing on satellite imagery and global land-cover datasets, and convergence of evidence — the process of combining multiple data sources to build a verified, plot-level picture of deforestation risk with Open Foris Whisp.
Together, these methods give governments, companies, and smallholders the reliable geospatial data they need to prove their commodities come from deforestation-free land — turning monitoring into measurable, market-ready impact.
Explore the stories below to see how this monitoring-to-impact chain works in practice across different countries and commodities.
