🌍 Elephants in Tanzania, walruses in the Arctic, bison in Montana, and bears in the New York Adirondacks: These animals and their habitats have all benefitted from research conducted by graduate students in Clark’s Wildlife Conservation GIS Research Seminar over the past 13 years.

Each spring, a cohort has tackled a vexing biodiversity project for the Wildlife Conservation Society — diving into high-resolution satellite imagery, remote-sensing technologies, and scientific datasets to uncover insights that support global conservation efforts.

This year’s mission was the most ambitious yet: combing through all of @thewcs’s global data to detect patterns and trends in environmental impact metrics across the organization’s managed conservation units worldwide.
