Today, CTrees is launching REDD+AI, an open data platform that reveals the full extent to which human activities have degraded tropical forests in recent years. The product is the first pantropic dataset to attribute change to logging, fire, and road construction.

In a series of short videos, CTrees scientists Ricardo Dalagnol, Ph.D. and Fabien Wagner, Ph.D. introduce the platform’s key features, as well as the underlying scientific methodologies.

Watch CTrees scientist Ricardo Dalagnol, Ph.D. explore the three main drivers of tropical forest degradation — road construction, logging and forest fire — within the new open data platform REDD+AI.

In this video, CTrees scientist Fabien Wagner, Ph.D. discusses the overall methodology behind the layers of evergreen forest tree cover loss and degradation within the platform.
