Central Africa Forest Warning System

CAFWS

Within the framework of the GMES & Africa program, the SEFAC (Suivi et Évaluation des Forêts d’Afrique Centrale) consortium has developed the CAFWS (Central Africa Forest Warning System) platform for monitoring deforestation in sites provided by users. The monitoring is performed in near-real time, as soon as the Sentinel-1 radar satellite observations are made available by the European Space Agency (ESA).
