Within the DestinE framework, Forest DTC will implement, integrate and validate an end-to-end pre-operational realisation of a digital replica of the World’s forests. Forest DTC will be implemented on the Destination Earth Core Service Platform (DESP) using open science and FAIR principles. Forest DTC will use data available on DESP and, to the extent necessary for efficient operational activities, other online platforms, e.g. Destination Earth Data Lake (DEDL) and Forestry Thematic Exploitation Platform (Forestry TEP).
