Satellite surveys for sustainable ecosystems

detecting puffin poo from space in order to track bird colonies, nest site occupation and extent, occupation use, population viability growth or collapse. Also see mapping guano from space.

How is satellite imaging used for mapping bird migration routes and correlation with en-route recovery habitats, forest and wetlands?

Correlating areal photography, satellite imaging, with ground survey to measure bog extents, health and regeneration.

Mapping connected terrestrial ground cover, wetlands, wilderness and forest habitats from space.
Identifying disconnected habitats, mapping micro to macro fragmentation of biosphere due to human barrier interventions from paths to roads, walls, through to cities and mega engineering projects.
