INTERNATIONAL PAPER: Keeping Forests Healthy: Use of Technology Reveals More

Forest

International Paper issued the following announcement on Sept. 23.

Recent technology has revolutionized the way the paper and packaging industry manages and sustains healthy forests.

Paper may be a naturally recyclable product, but the ongoing health and renewal of the resource from which it’s made takes stewardship and care from the paper industry. Historically, sustainable forest management has required foresters to do difficult and time-consuming labor—often tedious, sometimes dangerous. Tracking invasive species, diseases and wildfire risks on the ground. Measuring soil health and tree growth with specialized tools. Surveying hundreds of acres on foot.

How Life Unfolds shares how drones and satellites help us keep our forest healthy.
