Our partners at Planet were featured in The Economist's recent article about how trees alone will not save the world, but better markets and better monitoring will let them do more. This article is a chapter of a larger report titled "The New Economy Net Zero Needs." It highlights the power of Planet's data by stating: "With some 200 satellites in orbit, Planet is able to take a detailed picture of every part of the Earth’s surface every 24 hours. The combination of this constant flood of machine-readable data and algorithms like Salo’s is a ridiculously powerful one."

Read the article on The Economist's site here.

Planet's Forest Carbon data is derived from those "ridiculously powerful" algorithms, and is available with one-click in Lens! We're proud to continue our partnership with Planet to deliver easy, accessible tools for better monitoring. You can learn more about the data in our upcoming webinar with Planet on December 14th, register here.

Congratulations again to our partners for their shoutout in this special report from The Economist!
