European remote sensing system

Healthy forests are essential to rural livelihoods, biodiversity, and the bioeconomy. However, they are under increasing threat from storms, droughts, pests, diseases, and fires. These dangers often develop quietly and, if not identified early, can cause significant economic and ecological damage. The FORWARDS project is developing an innovative sensing system that can quickly identify and map forest vulnerabilities and risks across Europe.
