Mangroves

MangMap, the satellite platform for monitoring mangroves, is now open

Mangroves must be preserved and restored for the many ecosystem services they provide, including acting as a natural barrier against some of the effects of climate change. Thanks to the SCO Mangroves project, there is now an online platform, which will gradually cover all the mangroves on the planet: MangMap.

One Water Summit Declaration

One Water Summit Declaration

Since the dawn of time, I've been falling, running, trickling, cascading and swirling. Fresh or salty, alive or dormant, I am water, the essence of life. But today, global warming is disrupting the brakes on my cycle: scarcity and drought here, overabundance and floods there, I'm becoming a source of disaster, and at times even conflict. To preserve me, the world is rallying around the One Water Vision agreement, whith the SCO is reaffirming its commitment to share its space-based solutions for the benefit of all.

TropiSCO Use case

Quantifying illegal deforestation in French Guiana: TropiSCO's invaluable help

By providing environmental monitoring of certain critical ecosystems that act as bulwarks against climate change, SCO solutions can help various local players to cope with the pressures they face. One example is TropiSCO, which tracks tropical deforestation in near-real time, and whose maps help to combat the illegal gold mining that is decimating the Amazon rainforest.
