Description
The book will provide an overview of the practical application of remote sensing for the purposes of nature conservation as developed by ecologists in collaboration with remote sensing specialists, providing guidance on all phases from the planning of remote sensing projects for conservation to the interpretation and validation of the images.
This book and linked activities have been selected as finalists of the European Natura 2000 award 2020.https://natura2000award-application.eu/finalist/3126
