General
Collect Earth Online is a free, open-source system for viewing and interpreting high-resolution satellite imagery. It enables users to efficiently collect up-to-date information about their environment and observe changes over time.
Organizations around the world use CEO to detect deforestation, forest degradation, and other changes in the landscape. This data empowers users to implement policies to protect the landscape, mitigate climate change, and promote sustainable livelihoods.
CEO was developed by SERVIR—a joint initiative of NASA and USAID, working in partnership with leading technical organizations around the world—and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
