Cenia has the support of more than 30 institutions from Latin America and the Caribbean, and more than 60 experts from the region. The project will be launched in mid-2025, the Tico Times reported.

“Since 1972, the U.S Geological Survey Landsat Earth Observation satellites have been providing scientists and policy makers with up to date data on a range of features of Earth’s surface, and the picture being painted is a grim one.
