Episode 72: The Role of Remote Sensing in Forestry with Ed Mitchard, Founder at Space Intelligence
In a previous episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, we briefly touched upon the role of artificial intelligence and biacoustic monitoring in wildlife conservation. On a similar note, in this episode, I interview Professor Ed Mitchard, to discuss the role of remote sensing in forest conservation Through the use of satellites, remote Sensing allows for the observation and accurate imaging of the earth’s surface. This is particularly useful for forest research and monitoring as stakeholders can monitor land-use change, estimate a forest carbon stock, detect forest fires, and report upon other key forest indicators.
