Satellites and 3D maps REVEAL Tree Growth | Tree Update 30

Welcome to Tree-Update 30! Trees take time to grow. So before and after pictures are not always easy to make, because often the changes are not yet that obvious to the eye.

In this episode we tell you more about how at Ecosia, together with our tree-planting partners, we aim to bring more transparency into the tree-planting business by combining other methods to monitor the changes in the landscapes, even when the trees we plant are not yet fully grown.

From video calls with our partners, to monitoring apps or satellite images — watch this episode to learn more about how we know that the trees financed through Ecosia are actually making a difference.

A big, big, BIG thank you to Wells for Zoë for the maps and 3D animations in this video. Check out their work:
