Environmental crime, caught from orbit
The land is being destroyed faster than any human team could ever survey it on foot.
From a satellite image to a clear answer, in four steps.
We photograph the territory
Satellites photograph the Amazon rainforest and Chile's forestland every few days, covering areas far too vast for any team to patrol on foot.
An AI spots the change
A model trained for this compares each new image against previous ones and detects where logging, excavation, or fire appeared.
We check if it had a permit
Before saying anything, we cross-reference that exact location against official records: protected areas, indigenous territories, concessions, and active permits.
We give you a clear answer
Every case ends in HIGH RISK, LOW RISK, or NEEDS VERIFICATION if information is missing — we never make up an answer.
What Argos verifies today — and where it's headed next.
Illegal mining
We monitor the rainforest in Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and Bolivia. As soon as a new excavation or mining-driven clearing appears, we detect it and check whether that area had permission for it.
Before accusing anyone, we check five times whether they had a permit.
We never say HIGH RISK just because we couldn't find the permit in time. If an official record is unavailable or information is missing, the system honestly says NEEDS VERIFICATION — it never makes up an answer.
This is what it looks like for the people who already use it every day.
Let's talk about your case, no strings attached.
Tell us what you need to monitor — environmental enforcement, corporate compliance, or a supply chain review — and we'll show you how Argos can help.
