Researcher finds a cheap way to identify invasive coconuts from space

This article discusses how conservation scientists, like Mary Engels, use free satellite imagery from NASA's Landsat satellites to track invasive coconut palms on remote Pacific islands, offering a low-cost alternative to expensive private satellite imagery. This research is valuable for island conservation efforts, aligning with Globu.io’s focus on sustainable environmental practices and resource management. By leveraging accessible technology to monitor ecosystems, Globu.io can support innovative approaches to biodiversity conservation and promote cost-effective solutions for managing invasive species, benefitting both the environment and local economies.
