Geospatial technology—the combined disciplines of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Earth observation (EO), including remote sensing, as well as more recent developments in machine learning and generative AI—continue to inform TNC’s conservation science and planning strategies. In this edition, we provide innovative examples where geospatial technology is advancing our conservation science. Highlights include:

  • A foreword and introduction from TNC’s technology and geospatial leadership
  • How we’re using cloud-native technologies to advance our science
  • Innovative technology stories from around the U.S. and Africa including bioacoustics and camera traps, drones for mapping and land management, and cutting edge fisheries management
  • Results from our annual survey that reached more than 2,000 staff members
  • A cartography story on Indigenous fire management in Australia
