Pinchot Institute Works With SIG
SIG co-developed software to remotely monitor gold mining activity in Colombia. Illegal mining is a driver of deforestation and this project aims to empower authorities to respond quickly and appropriately. CoMiMo, which is available for desktop in both English and Spanish, uses satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify threatened areas.
Identifying Key Watershed Stewards in the American West
The American Forest Foundation (AFF) approached SIG to support their work on ensuring forests on private lands in the American West continue to provide clean water, even in the face of increasing wildfire activity. In particular, they wanted to find out the role played by family forest owners in ensuring watershed health.
