Costa Rica's Natural Riches: Mapping Biodiversity Using Earth Observations (English translation)
Channel: Natural Capital Project (NatCap)
Date: 28/10/2020

This webinar describes how earth observations and modeling of ecosystem services can support decision-making processes, at the national and local levels. We present research advances in linking earth observations of ecosystem structure and function and biodiversity to improve models for sediment retention, pollination, and ecotourism. This work is part of a collaboration between the Natural Capital Project and Costa Rica's Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), the Central Bank (BCCR) and PRIAS lab, funded by NASA and Group on Earth Observations (GEO).
