I would like to see “my trees” on satellite images. Can Plant-for-the-Planet display this?

For each of our restoration projects that solicit donations on our platform, we have deposited satellite images that go back years and current ones, so that the visitor can see the change on a time travel. https://www1.plant-for-the-planet.org/yucatan

Satellite images, however, have only limited informative value about the vegetation of an area. Often the images are outdated, and in addition, it is often not possible to distinguish a “bush from a tree” from space, unless they were high-resolution satellite images.

To increase transparency for the donor, the young people of Plant-for-the-Planet have developed the TreeMapper.App. It automatically sends the geo-data, the time of planting and the tree species to the donors.

The app can also be used to document the growth of the trees. Via the geo-data, the restoration organization can also take drone images, which can replace the expensive high-resolution satellite images. In this sense, with the technology now developed by Plant-for-the-Planet, all the conditions are in place for people to actually soon be able to watch the trees grow from their sofas.
