Forest Tracker - From Data to Action: Forest Monitoring for Environmental Policy in Romania

This policy brief showcases a new tool for monitoring forest coverage and changes developed in SDGs-EYES. The Forest Tracker is a fully automated EO-based system that provides high-resolution maps of forest cover changes and disturbances across time. The service was piloted in the Olt River Basin in Romania and supports national and EU-level policy reporting on forest conservation and land degradation. The service delivers maps of forest loss, degradation, and regeneration based on annual time series of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
