Perubahan tutupan lahan merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam perkembangan suatu wilayah. Dengan melihat perubahan tutupan lahan, kita bisa melihat bagaimana alih fungsi lahan di sebuah area berlangsung dari waktu ke waktu. Dalam konteks lingkungan, tutupan lahan yang berubah bisa menunjukkan berkurangnya luas hutan di wilayah tertentu. Itulah kenapa, banyak jurnalis, peneliti, aktivis, dan berbagai pihak lain menaruh perhatian besar terhadap perubahan tutupan lahan. Akan tetapi, untuk menginvestigasi perubahan tutupan lahan, dibutuhkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan tertentu. Itulah kenapa, webinar bulanan Journocoders Indonesia ini akan membahas bagaimana kita bisa menginvestigasi perubahan tutupan lahan, terutama dalam konteks Indonesia. Webinar ini akan menghadirkan **jurnalis Harian Kompas, Albertus Krisna,** sebagai pembicara. Krisna merupakan anggota tim Jurnalisme Data Harian Kompas yang terlibat dalam liputan tentang penyusutan hutan di Sumatera yang dipublikasikan pada Desember 2025. Liputan berjudul "Hutan Sumatera Lenyap" itu sempat viral di media sosial beberapa bulan lalu.
