The preservation of the forest heritage in Chile

EAASI companies: GEOFIT, Heligràfics, RIEGL

Categories: Forest monitoring, Climate Change


GeoFit uses LiDAR and aerial photography to map vast Chilean forests (350k-600k ha/year). This data-driven approach supports sustainable forestry, preserving biodiversity like the Araucaria.

By combining LiDAR, hyperspectral data, and on-site investigations, each species and tree can be precisely identified and georeferenced, facilitating precise monitoring of vegetation changes, including that of the Chilean Araucaria.

This case study appeared for the first time in the article How can aerial surveying help to monitor climate change? published by GIM International.
