Sustainability : Choose satellites to monitor deforestation
journal contribution
posted on 2014-06-04, 14:20 authored by Jim Lynch, Mark Maslin, Heiko Balzter, Martin SweetingTropical deforestation contributes
12% of total anthropogenic carbon
dioxide emissions globally. Illegal
logging is costing nations tens of billions of
dollars each year. Although governments are
making headway on agreements to stop this
destruction, so far there is no coherent plan
to monitor tropical forests on the scale or
timescales necessary to do so.
