Satellite technology is crucial for addressing variety of life loss caused by human, offering valuable insights for conservation science. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment emphasizes the importance of urgent conservation efforts due to the significant impact of biodiversity on human life. Integrating satellite data with species distribution models enables monitoring, prediction, and assessment of biodiversity changes. Remote sensing measures ecological factors like land surface temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture, contributing to mentioned studies, multispectral imaging aids, and detecting plant and animal species, enhancing conservation insights. The availability of high resolution satellite data presents opportunities for more accurate research and policy formulation. Understanding biodiversity's importance is vital as it sustains the ecological balance and provides essential ecosystem services. Without biodiversity, the support system for human and animal life would collapse. The Rio 20 Conference on Sustainable Development underscored the seriousness of global biodiversity loss and its impact on food security, water access, health and more. The essence of data in supporting biodiversity lies in evidence based conservation management. High quality monitoring data is crucial for decision making and policy evaluation. Species distribution models integrate species of. Currents biological attributes and environmental data to predict population dynamics and distribution changes. Integrating with remote sensing accelerates ecological modeling and minimizes errors. Satellite measurements contribute to understanding both abiotic and biotic factors affecting biodiversity. It provides continuous monitoring of climate parameters such as land surface temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture. Nasas missions like Terra Aqua MODIS and Soil Moisture Active Passive offer data for ecological modeling. Hyperspectral observing enhances plant and animal detection, supporting biodiversity research, remote sensing aids, and monitoring changes in precipitation. A key factor in drought warning and climate change impact assessment, it also plays a role in detecting indicators of photosynthetic activity like the vegetation difference index, NDVI, high resolution images from satellite and aerial remote sensing, verify spatial errors and field surveys, saving time and population surveys. Advancements in remote sensing products offer promising opportunities for faster and more accurate studies. The utilization of multispectral and optical data with high resolution, coupled with easy access to corrected and analyzed data, enhances the integration of satellite remote sensing into ecological research tools. Space data brings relevant benefits to Earth observation and policy development. Check out more about biodiversity monitoring in Geo Awesome source article.

New UK #netgain regulations introduce localized biodiversity offset requirements - deducting credits for distant habitat trades using spatial multipliers. This progressive move brings execution obstacles but keeps restoration proximal, improving #conservation outcomes in regions directly impacted by construction activities under permits. #sustainableinfrastructure

New #UK biodiversity net gain policies require localized spatial multipliers for habitat offsets, with steep deductions for distant trades. This variability poses planning and market challenges but aims to keep offsets as proximal to impact areas as possible. Read our new article to learn about navigating the complexities of accounting for space in biodiversity compensation and potential paths to coordinated solutions balancing offset viability and conservation wins. https://lnkd.in/d4Jeyc6C #biodiversity #netgain #conservation

Anyone who has followed the World Economic Forum Global Risk Reports over the last few years would have seen the dramatic rise of #biodiversityloss as a major global risk. Urgent action is needed. Great to see WEF acknowledging what we are doing at NatureMetrics to address this risk and enable companies and businesses to make a difference.
