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.

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
