NASA Joins Jane Goodall to Conserve Chimpanzee Habitats

Earth-observing satellites like Landsat have documented the
shrinking of chimpanzee habitat, Africa's equatorial forest belt.
The Jane Goodall Institute uses Landsat and other satellite
data to empower local communities to drive conservation on
their own land by creating habitat suitability maps for
chimpanzees.
Mobile apps also bring in data in real-time so communities can
protect their village forest reserves, and create land use plans
for watersheds, people, and chimpanzees. After years of forest
loss, the last few decades have seen habitats recovering.
