PatchWatch

Google Alerts, but for ecosystems

Monitor any place on Earth for deforestation, wetland loss, and land-use changes. Free satellite-powered alerts — no hardware, no fieldwork.

Free tier: 3 watch zones, weekly scans. No credit card required.

How PatchWatch protects land

Powered by open satellite data from ESA Sentinel-2 and NASA Landsat.

Draw Your Watch Zone

Pick any spot on Earth. Draw a polygon, circle, or rectangle on the map — that's your watch zone.

We check Sentinel-2 and Landsat imagery on a schedule — weekly for free, daily for Pro.
