Forest Spatial Data Scientist The Nature Conservancy Boise, Idaho, United States
We describe monthly logging road development for the Congo Basin in Africa from 2019-2022 using maps produced using satellite imagery and deep learning. We use these maps to characterize forest management practices, evaluate sustainability, and identify opportunities for reduced impact logging for climate mitigation.
Learning Objectives:
describe patterns of recent logging road development in the Congo Basin.
describe how mapped logging road networks provide insights on sustainable forest management in the Congo Basin.
