Integrating Remote Sensing into Nature-Based Solutions: A Pilot with PUR

During the early stages of the project it was clear that to satisfy PUR’s needs, multiple service providers would be needed: equipment providers, data scientists, remote sensing specialists, among others. Additionally, many of PUR’s parcels are located in tropical climates that are difficult to access. The deployment of drones was therefore conditioned not only by climate conditions, but also terrain.

An off-the shelf solution was not available and extensive market research was done to work with the most appropriate methodologies and professionals. The efficient management of the project was crucial during these early stages to ensure that the multiple parts worked together efficiently. The companies that helped fulfil this project included Skylab, Globhe, Linn Aerospace and Airbus.
