A collective approach for ending deforestation and accelerating restoration
The partnership aims to halt and reverse forest loss from commodity production by collaboratively improving global monitoring and supply chain tracking. It aligns partners around the data and ensures access for stakeholders across sectors to open-source data on geospatial forest-risk commodities that is consistent and validated. The result is credible, systematic monitoring, verification and accountability towards progress in reducing commodity-driven deforestation and restoring degraded lands.

Innovating Demand-Driven Approaches
We work with you to compile, harmonize and mobilize the best available data using the ensemble method, a machine learning technique that combines several base models to produce an optimal, predictive model. Our ensemble includes the best available data sets, benefiting from diverse inputs.
| If you have field, ground or training data, we can use it to train the ensemble, improving prediction in your area of interest. | If you have map products to contribute to the ensemble, our custom pipeline will illuminate where your model is the strongest. | Through our network of trusted observers, we conduct field inventories to train and validate our ensemble or use crowd-sourced open data. |
