Forest plots checked for clearing, every month
Forest plots checked for clearing from space, with a field check flag.
What it does
Every month: the latest clear satellite picture of each forest plot in your table, with a note by xMap AI on signs of clearing, roads or fire, for the conservation or supply-chain team.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, get satellite pictures, write a summary of each with xMap AI, decide with Jev, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Clearing in a supply chain or a reserve must be caught early. Each plot is checked monthly, and Jev flags the ones to visit.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
