Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 14 July 2021, shows São Miguel Island in Portugal’s Azores archipelago. São Miguel is home to an autochthonous temperate mixed forest that hosts many habitats and remarkable biodiversity. This forest, like many other forests in the world, is under increasing pressure from climate change, fragmentation due to land use changes, etc. As part of the EU Green Deal, the European Commission will publish a new forestry strategy in 2021 that will form the basis of an innovative approach to forest management and protection. Open data from the Copernicus programme are particularly useful for forest monitoring and management. For example, the data released daily by the Sentinel satellites provide the opportunity to monitor the health of forests, while the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service data supplies high-resolution data particularly suited for forest management.
