How to Use Mighty Earth's Rapid Response System:

Mighty Earth is hosting a webinar for those interested in learning more about how the Rapid Response system works. The Rapid Response system is aimed at eliminating deforestation from the palm oil, soy, rubber, cocoa, paper, and cattle industries.

Mighty Earth, working with partners Aidenvironment and MapHubs, analyzes satellite data from Planet Labs and other sources alongside concession maps to detect deforestation occurring on agricultural plantations; it then identifies supply chain and financial links between the plantations and the world’s largest agricultural buyers.

Once the connection is established, Mighty Earth files alerts with the company and, because these companies have adopted commitments to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains, they are obliged to take action.
