🌲 What is GIS & Remote Sensing in Forestry?

• GIS (Geographic Information System) → Mapping and analyzing forest data

• Remote Sensing → Monitoring forests using satellite imagery

Together, they help in:
👉 Forest cover mapping
👉 Deforestation analysis
👉 Wildlife habitat monitoring
👉 Carbon stock estimation

🚀 Why Learn GIS in Forestry?

Modern forestry requires:

• Monitoring large forest areas efficiently

• Detecting illegal logging and encroachment

• Managing biodiversity and wildlife habitats

• Climate change and carbon analysis

• Forest fire risk assessment

👉 GIS allows scientific and data-driven forest management.
