30 March to 25 May, 2026 - ACF Crowd Sourced Investigations - Deforestation

ACF Investigates is a citizen science project that brings together a community of nature-loving digital sleuths who help uncover deforestation by classifying satellite imagery and gathering data on their phone or desktop.

Australia is a world leader in nature destruction and every day iconic Australian animals, like the koala, are pushed closer to the brink of extinction. We’re also a big country which unfortunately makes it easy for bulldozers to destroy the forests and bushland we love unseen and undocumented.

That’s where ACF Crowd Sourced Investigations comes in!

By taking some time out of your day - whether on your daily commute or during your lunch break - to help us analyse satellite imagery for signs of land clearing, you’re joining a community of people who want to uncover this destruction and stand up for nature!

The digital tool that investigators will be using to analyse satellite imagery and help us uncover potential deforestation goes live on Monday 30 March till Monday 25 May.
