Nominate your self or an individual for the Satellites for Biodiversity Award (Round 3)

In partnership with the Airbus Foundation, the Connected Conservation Foundation is pleased to announce the third round (R3) of its Satellites for Biodiversity Award.

The Foundation invites individuals and non-profit organizations to submit proposals that leverage high-resolution (HR) satellite data and machine learning to monitor and protect vulnerable species, habitats, and ecosystems on Earth.

Themes:
1. State of Species: Projects focused on assessing species abundance, distribution, and extinction risks due to environmental, social, or commercial threats. These projects evaluate threat levels (IUCN Red List), population sizes, and extinction drivers, such as habitat loss and degradation.

2. Invasive Species: Projects studying the introduction, spread, and management of invasive plant or animal species.

3. Ecosystem Management: Projects that monitor and guide management practices in biodiversity-sensitive areas, including early-warning systems to address conservation challenges.

4. Ecosystem Connectivity: Projects analyzing changes in ecosystem structure and connectivity to maintain or enhance physical, biological, and ecological linkages within and between ecosystems.

5. Ecosystem Conversion and Restoration: Projects identifying and assessing the transformation of natural areas into managed or developed spaces, and efforts to restore ecosystems to their natural state.

Don't miss out on the application deadline which is 18-Dec-2024.
