Case Study: Geocento helps Ireland’s National Parks & Wildlife Service monitor raised bogs with Planet satellite imagery

How Geocento helped Ireland’s National Parks & Wildlife Service monitor and conserve raised bogs with Planet data

Geocento, a provider of web-based imaging services, assisted Ireland's National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) when the Covid-19 pandemic hindered their ability to conduct field and aerial monitoring of protected raised bog habitats. The NPWS needed a remote solution to monitor these sites for unauthorized activities and natural events to fulfill their conservation responsibilities.

Using Planet's bi-weekly SkySat satellite imagery, Geocento implemented a remote monitoring program for the bogs. This Planet-powered solution provided a viable and efficient alternative, allowing NPWS to keep staff safe, focus field resources more effectively, and achieve significant savings on flight time and operational costs.
