Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative- known as NICFI- and the Bezos Earth Fund have announced a new partnership to continue providing the world with free access to high-resolution satellite data to support efforts to stop the destruction of the world’s rainforests. Airbus UK has been awarded nearly £95 million and Teledyne e2v £9 million, through the UK Space Agency’s membership of the European Space Agency, to deliver the next phase of the TRUTHS mission, and more.
