Forest • Deforestation • Alert • Deforestation Alert • Near Real Time • Tree • RADD • GLAD-L • GLAD-S2
The Integrated Deforestation Alerst aggregates deforestation alerts from three alert systems (GLAD-L, GLAD-S2, RADD) into a single, integrated deforestation alert layer. This integration allows users to detect deforestation events faster than any single system alone, as the integrated layer is updated when any of the source alert systems are updated.

By harmonizing data from different sources, the system improves detection accuracy and reduces latency, offering users more timely and reliable forest change information. Alerts are generated using optical and radar satellite imagery and are updated as frequently as every few days.
The dataset supports proactive forest monitoring, allowing governments, NGOs, and companies to respond swiftly to illegal deforestation, fire damage, and infrastructure-driven forest encroachment. Each alert includes spatial coordinates, timestamp, alert source, and confidence metrics.
Ideal for use in deforestation early warning systems, land-use change tracking, law enforcement tools, and supply chain monitoring platforms.
