# About

**Global Nature Watch** is an experimental, open, AI-powered system that combines peer-reviewed research from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch in a simple, chat-style interface. &#x20;

Users can ask questions in plain language in their own language and receive responses backed by data from Land & Carbon Lab and Global Forest Watch, supported by maps, statistics and context. Integrating near-real-time and annual satellite data, it reveals change across ecosystems, from forests to grasslands, croplands and other landscapes. &#x20;

&#x20;As the platform continues to improve, it aims to make monitoring more comprehensive, faster and easier, helping people protect and restore ecosystems, support livelihoods and address climate challenges. &#x20;
