From recording the scale of war damage in Gaza, to tracking environmental crime in Brazil, remote sensing technology has become an invaluable tool for journalists around the world. This month on Backlight we’re speaking to two journalists, Lu Min Lwin and Lucelle Bonzo, who spent months working alongside the Lighthouse team to investigate the biggest re-greening program in the Philippines. Using remote sensing analysis, they found widespread illegal deforestation across more than 100,000 sites that were supposed to be protected.They talk us through the methods behind the investigation, and share resources for journalists looking to incorporate remote sensing in their own work.
