GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Using Raster data?

3 May 2024 4:14pm
Hi Sarah,
It depends on what question you're asking. It would make sense to upload the land cover rasters for each year and then your data (you didn't mention what form your data is in). Then, you could run an analysis to look at temporal change in the landcover or other types of analyses, depending on what you're trying to do.
Best,
Vance

Depending what you want to do, there are free services to annotate values for each point, interpolating between available time-location records in the RS data.
The EnvDATA Track Annotation Service on Movebank (use the "generic time-location records" option).

Hi Cathy! Please check out the below article on group managers. Essentially, we're asking for a 12 month commitment of 1 hour a week (more or less) to promote engagement in WILDLABS groups by sparking conversations, engaging with people's content, and planning 1 virtual event a month to bring the community together. (This could be bringing a speaker in, or just having a 45 minute coffee call for people in the sector to get to know each other and share their work.)
As a group manager, you have the full support of the WILDLABS community team. We have a dedicated Slack channel, monthly calls to support you in your group management, and so much more.
Being a group manager is a great way to give back to the conservation tech community, steer conversations in the direction you think is important, foster a vibrant space for collaboration, and build your network. Shoot me an email if you're interested ([email protected])! I'm happy to hop on a call to discuss more in-depth.
