Neftaly | Assessing Forest Corridors Using Remote Sensing Data
Enabling Wildlife Movement and Ecosystem Resilience Through Smart Forest Connectivity Mapping
In fragmented landscapes, forest corridors serve as critical lifelines—linking isolated patches of habitat and enabling the movement of wildlife, the flow of genes, and the survival of ecosystems under pressure. Identifying, protecting, and restoring these corridors requires reliable, landscape-level insight.
Neftaly leverages advanced remote sensing technologies to map and assess forest corridors with precision. By integrating satellite imagery, AI-powered classification, and spatial modeling, we help conservationists, land planners, and governments ensure that key ecological connections are recognized, preserved, and enhanced.

Why Forest Corridors Matter
???? Wildlife Migration and Dispersal
Corridors help animals move between habitats for breeding, feeding, and adapting to seasonal or climate-driven changes.
???? Genetic Exchange and Population Health
Linking fragmented populations reduces inbreeding risks and enhances long-term species survival.
???? Climate Adaptation and Ecosystem Services
Connected forests are more resilient to climate change and maintain services like water regulation, carbon storage, and pollination.

Neftaly’s Remote Sensing Approach to Corridor Assessment
???? High-Resolution Satellite Mapping
We use imagery from Sentinel-2, Landsat, and PlanetScope to map forest extent, structure, and human-made barriers at local and regional scales.
???? Connectivity and Corridor Modeling
Neftaly applies spatial modeling techniques like least-cost path analysis and circuit theory to identify viable wildlife corridors and landscape linkages.
???? Fragmentation and Habitat Integrity Metrics
We calculate patch proximity, edge density, core forest area, and corridor width to assess the functionality and stability of ecological connections.
???? AI-Enhanced Land Cover Classification
Our machine learning models differentiate between intact forest, degraded areas, agriculture, and other land uses—providing a clearer picture of corridor quality.
???? Temporal Monitoring of Corridor Change
Track how corridors are changing over time due to deforestation, infrastructure, or restoration—informing adaptive conservation strategies.

Applications
Wildlife Corridor Identification and Protection
Support planning and legal designation of wildlife migration routes and buffer zones.
Conservation Area Network Design
Improve the spatial layout of parks, reserves, and community forests to ensure connectivity.
Forest Restoration and FLR Targeting
Identify degraded or narrow zones within corridors for reforestation or assisted natural regeneration.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Evaluate the impact of roads, settlements, or agriculture on ecological linkages.
