Is it even possible to keep track of wildfires or illegal logging in the areas we're monitoring

Illegal logging is a serious problem that’s still happening, even though we try to warn and take action. But we often only see the damage from fires or logging after it’s already done. Imagine how much we could prevent if we had real-time monitoring.

Are people seriously setting forests on fire on purpose? That’s awful. And the logging too. Honestly, it’s hard for me to believe people would do that just because they know no one will catch them right away, and later it’s almost impossible to find who did it.

There are always some shady folks out there. People who start forest fires or do illegal logging and all sorts of environmental damage. And it’s not just random vandals, a lot of the time it’s actually big companies trying to use the land for something. That’s what I’ve read, anyway. Not sure about real-time observation, but you can definitely use checking current land conditions from space using satellite imagery. Platforms like EOSDA LandViewer let you get satellite photos, compare them with past ones, make time-lapses, and stuff like that.
