In this radio episode, we speak to Patrick Ribeiro, founder of OpenForests, a technology company that develops digital tools such as the explorer.land
platform
for forest
restoration
initiatives. Patrick discusses how digital technologies – from
drones
to satellites to interactive maps – can facilitate data-led
storytelling
that builds transparency between on-the-ground
restoration
projects, stakeholders and investors, and why it is important to take a multidimensional approach to forests'
value
.
