Daily, radar-powered insights

A single large fire can reverse years of carbon removal

Fire is one of the biggest reversal risks to a nature-based carbon project. Across a portfolio, most teams have no reliable way to know a site has burned — let alone quantify the damage or move to protect what’s left.

FireTracker monitors every site and its surrounding buffer zone every day, anywhere on Earth. You learn about a fire outbreak in days instead of months — while you can still check in with the on-the-ground team, scope the damage, and quantify the event for buyers and investors.

FireTracker

Catch every fire, every day

FireTracker combines radar and optical data to monitor every site and its surroundings daily, right across the planet. Outbreaks are flagged within 24 hours — time to put protective measures in place.

Turn an alert into a damage assessment

Cross-reference burnt areas with recent satellite imagery and analyse a fire’s impact on project success with the Space Intelligence monitoring suite — GrowthTracker and DisturbanceTracker. Together they confirm and quantify the damage, and evidence it for your stakeholders.

How we compare

Confirmed fire, in context

Free feeds and active-fire tools do related but different jobs. Here’s how FireTracker compares when the job is monitoring a carbon portfolio and evidencing what happened to it.

	FireTracker	Free fire hotspot feedse.g NASA FIRMS	Other fire monitoring tools
What it is	Confirmed-fire monitoring for nature carbon projects	Free active-fire hotspot points	Active wildfire detection and response
What it detects	Confirmed fire — actual burned area	Thermal hotspots while a fire is burning	Active fire, near real-time
Latency	Daily	Near real-time	Near real-time
Reliability	Under 1% false alarms on major fires	Noisy — high false positives, misses fires under cloud	Reliance on optical data alone might hinder result accuracy
Project context	Pre-clipped to your sites, inside the Platform	None — you build and maintain the pipeline yourself	Built for immediate fire response
Best for	Monitoring and quantifying fire damage in carbon portfolios	Free, do-it-yourself general fire awareness	Emergency fire response and post-event analysis

FireTracker is one part of a complete monitoring suite

Every nature-based project faces different monitoring challenges. Our full monitoring suite covers the entire lifecycle including early growth tracking and small canopy loss detection.
