Methodology & Limitations

What this tool does

  • Compares satellite imagery of your plots between Dec 2020 and today
  • Identifies where forest cover has decreased since the EUDR cutoff
  • Generates a downloadable PDF evidence report per plot
  • Helps you prioritise which plots need further investigation

What this tool does NOT do

  • Certify EUDR compliance or replace legal advice
  • Assess legality of land use in the country of production
  • Replace ground-level verification or supplier audits
  • Submit your Due Diligence Statement to TRACES

How it works

  1. Data source: ESA Copernicus Sentinel-2 L2A imagery (10m resolution, global, free)
  2. Baseline: Nearest cloud-free scene to the EUDR cutoff date (31 Dec 2020)
  3. Current: Most recent cloud-free scene for your coordinates
  4. Method: NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) change detection — measures green vegetation density from spectral bands
  5. Cloud masking: Scene Classification Layer (SCL) filters out cloud/shadow pixels
  6. Verdict thresholds: Deforestation-free (<5 pp loss), Review needed (5–15 pp), Deforestation risk (>15 pp)
This tool provides satellite-based screening evidence to support due diligence under Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. It is not a certification of compliance.
Full methodology (v1.0)

Enter GPS coordinates or draw a rectangle on the map. Accepts decimal degrees or DMS (e.g. 5°49'12"N 6°57'0"W).

Add details (optional)

Sets analysis buffer around GPS point. Default works for most plots.

EUDR reference

Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Article 9(1)(d) requires geolocation of all plots of land where the relevant commodities were produced. Plots under 4 hectares may be identified by a single point; larger plots require a polygon.

One coordinate pair per line. Accepts decimal degrees, DMS (5°49'12"N 6°57'0"W), or mixed formats. Optionally add plot ID and supplier after the coordinates, separated by comma or tab.

Upload a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file with columns: latitude, longitude, and optionally plot_id, supplier, commodity. Maximum 1,000 plots per batch.
