2020: A Challenging Year in Review
SkyTruth powered through the many challenges of 2020 and emerged with new skills and tools to protect the Amazon, the oceans, and more.
In early 2019 SkyTruth announced Conservation Vision, our initiative to use machine learning to automate the analysis of the ever-growing archives of satellite imagery. These days it encompasses most, if not all, of our data science team’s work.

Please consider a donation to help us continue this work in 2021.
