Conservation

Biodiversity is threatened, and conservation is urgent. The reality of limited resources for conservation requires prioritization among actions, species, and places, and the building of capacity in countries where threats are high.

Investigating landscape changes for protecting wildlife in Azerbaijan

Aug 2023 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Land Use

Using Corona spy satellite images, Afag Rizayeva is exploring the impact of long-term land cover changes on habitats of common and rare Caucasus ungulates in Azerbaijan.

Forest phenoclusters for Argentina

Aug 2023 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Remote Sensing

We developed an approach to cluster forests based on vegetation phenology and climate characteristics (forest phenoclusters) at scales relevant to management and conservation of forest landscapes across Argentina.

Hotspots of biodiversity conservation concern in Argentina

Aug 2023 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Remote Sensing

Eduarda Silveira identified hotspots of biodiversity conservation concern across Argentina in order to prioritize management actions to reduce the threat and minimize biodiversity loss.

Wildlife Conservation with Satellite Data

Aug 2023 - Biodiversity - Birds - Conservation

Developing maps to inform species conservation is essential for the future of ecosystem services. We developed the satellite data and indices to make such maps at fine scales.

The human footprint in the forests of Argentina, along with examples of different forests present in the country (Yungas and Andean-Patagonian Forests; photos by N. Politi and Y. Rosas).

Argentina’s wildest forests under threat

Aug 2023 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Land Use

A new map of the human footprint identifies the wildest forests of Argentina and provides valuable information for land use planners and conservationists.
