Description:

The Deforestation Monitoring Dashboard is a data-driven web application designed to track and visualize deforestation activities over time.
It collects data from satellite imagery, forestry reports, and government databases to identify forest cover loss, illegal logging activities, and land-use changes.
The dashboard empowers environmental agencies, NGOs, and policymakers to monitor trends, analyze hotspots, and take timely action to prevent further environmental degradation.

Key Features:

1. Satellite Image Analysis – Uses remote sensing data to detect changes in forest cover.

2. Deforestation Heatmap – Displays high-risk or high-activity zones using geo-mapping.

3. Historical Trend Visualization – Shows yearly or monthly forest cover changes.

4. Illegal Logging Detection Alerts – Sends notifications when unusual clearing patterns are detected.

5. Biodiversity Impact Estimation – Estimates the effect on local wildlife habitats.

6. Carbon Emission Impact Calculator – Calculates estimated CO₂ released due to deforestation.

7. Data Comparison Tool – Compares forest cover between different years or regions.

8. Policy Support Reports – Generates downloadable reports for government and NGO use.
