Most conservation teams still rely on Landsat composites for drought monitoring. The problem? By the time you get a clear image (every 16 days, weather permitting), the damage is already done.

We built Canopy Signal because we kept seeing the same pattern: NGOs and government agencies reacting to drought events instead of anticipating them. The data existed — Planet Labs captures every point on Earth daily at 3-5m resolution — but nobody had automated the pipeline from raw imagery to actionable drought indices.

What Canopy Signal does:

• Ingests daily satellite imagery automatically

• Calculates standardized drought indices (SPI, SPEI, NDVI anomalies, VCI)

• Flags deforestation events using change detection algorithms

• Delivers alerts before the damage becomes irreversible

We're offering a free tier using Landsat imagery so any team can get started, with a Pro tier for organizations that need daily situational awareness from Planet Labs data.

If you work in conservation, environmental policy, or land management — this was built for you.
