SkyTruth takes advantage of the growing numbers of satellites orbiting the Earth to collect images and data that reveal human activities on land and sea. We believe that if you can see it, you can change it. And so we make our unique tools, images, maps, and databases on environmental activities freely available to citizens groups, journalists, policymakers, and others, to allow them to hold industries and governments accountable.

Our work is cross-cutting, encompassing freshwater, oceans, climate, and biodiversity and focuses on activities that can be captured by satellite sensors.
