Why do we have ecologists on our team? 🤔 Because not all landscapes are straightforward! Complex land uses - like coffee plantations mixed with natural vegetation - require precise local calibration to distinguish between land classes accurately. That’s why ecologists like Tom Ford perform crucial work in improving the accuracy of our maps. They identify local factors such as seasonality, vegetation types, elevation, and make sure our machine learning models account for all these variations. Thanks Tom for this video! #Ecology #ForestMapping #EUDR
