Getting forest monitoring right isn’t just about pulling up satellite images. It’s about making sure those images – and the data behind them – actually tell you something useful for compliance. Whether you’re trying to meet EUDR standards or just stay ahead of supply chain risk, you need tools that do more than show a map. You need ones that connect back to land use, traceability, and due diligence in a way that holds up when the questions come.
Below are a few platforms that can help – not just with imagery, but with turning that imagery into evidence. Some are open source, some are commercial, and all of them are actively being used to support forest-related monitoring in high-risk commodity supply chains.
1. EUDR
EUDR.co provides consultancy services to guide organizations on EUDR compliance, helping them understand how to apply monitoring tools, but does not directly collaborate with specific platforms listed. Our role is to make sure companies understand what’s expected under the regulation and how software can be used to build a defensible due diligence system. We help interpret how forestation data feeds into the compliance process – whether it’s through sourcing traceability, land-use confirmation, or generating evidence to avoid penalties.
Forestation monitoring software doesn’t replace legal understanding – it supports it. That’s where we come in. By aligning satellite-based monitoring, alert systems, and geolocation data with the obligations outlined in the regulation, we help companies close the gap between raw inputs and compliance-ready documentation. Our guidance helps teams connect tool outputs to real-world legal exposure under the EUDR.

Conclusion
There’s no single way to monitor forest change – and honestly, that’s a good thing. Different tools handle different layers of the problem. Some are focused on live alerts or predictive modeling. Others lean into satellite-based mapping, carbon measurement, or visual validation. Together, they help fill the gap between raw data and something that actually stands up to legal or supply chain scrutiny.
As frameworks like the EU Deforestation Regulation come into effect, having the right kind of monitoring matters more than ever. It’s not just about collecting imagery – it’s about proving that what’s visible lines up with what’s required. And that takes more than screenshots. Whether you’re working on sourcing validation, restoration tracking, or long-term compliance, these platforms can help – but picking the right one means knowing exactly what you need to show, and to whom, and how often.
