Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation

Remote sensing in ecology and conservation refers to the use of satellite or aerial imagery to collect and analyze data about the Earth's surface and its ecosystems without physical contact. This technology enables researchers and conservationists to monitor, assess, and manage environmental conditions and natural resources efficiently and effectively. ### Key Aspects of Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation: 1. **Data Collection**: Remote sensing involves the capture of data using sensors that measure electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the Earth’s surface.
