Global Nature Watch: AI-Powered Insights for Nature in Africa—and Beyond
The next era of environmental intelligence is here — faster, sharper, more accessible and built for impact. This webinar explores Global Nature Watch, an experimental new AI-powered land monitoring system that brings powerful new ways to understand our planet’s changing landscapes, including in Africa.
Launched in September 2025, Global Nature Watch is an experimental, open, AI-powered system that combines peer-reviewed research from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch in a simple chat-style interface, with the aim of making landscape monitoring more comprehensive, faster and easier, helping people protect and restore ecosystems, support livelihoods and address climate challenges.
This session features a guided walkthrough and live demo of the platform, highlights from early users, and dedicated time for Q&A. We’ll demonstrate how Global Nature Watch can be used to explore ecosystem change—from forests to grasslands, croplands and other landscapes—using maps, statistics and context drawn from peer-reviewed data from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch, with examples tailored to the African context.
Whether you’re working to restore landscapes, protect ecosystems or strengthen data-driven decision-making, this webinar offers a practical look at how AI and open data can support monitoring and decision-making on today’s urgent land and climate challenges. Global Nature Watch is currently in preview, and your feedback will help shape what comes next.
About Global Nature Watch
Global Nature Watch is an experimental, open, AI-powered system that combines peer-reviewed research from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch in a simple, chat-style interface. Users can ask questions in plain language in over 100 languages and receive responses backed by data from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch, supported by maps, statistics and context. Integrating near-real-time and annual satellite data, it reveals change across ecosystems, from forests to grasslands, croplands and other landscapes. As the platform continues to improve, it aims to make monitoring more comprehensive, faster and easier, helping people protect and restore ecosystems, support livelihoods and address climate challenges.
