The Intelligence
Behind the Model
CARE uses cutting-edge research tools and partnerships to guide sustainable investment where it’s needed most—making every decision data-informed and impact-driven.
CARE’s Earth
Observation Technology
Satellite imagery provides a clear, scalable view of how ecosystems are changing over time. CARE uses this technology to map opportunity, monitor biodiversity, and identify early signals of stress or growth—allowing us to act smarter and faster, in partnership with local communities.
