GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.
Environmentalist and Python developer working in the realm of Remote Sensing. Fascinated by the intersection of technology and nature, with a focus on machine learning, ecological modeling, and biodiversity monitoring. 🌍

HI benard sorry am replying late,and yes i the data was exported as shapefile 2.i used same projection which is 37N WGS 84 on both apps and still the exported shape file projection read away from the wanted location
funny story is,the exported shapefile pins quite well when using QGIS but then on ARC GIS pro i don't get what the issue is

Hi Hattie,
This is great - thanks for providing so much detail! Nice summary of other resources, too. It would be great to hear on this thread how people are using or planning to use this.

you can also access the data via FAO's Sepal (https://sepal.io/), and when you have a planet key (register here: https://www.planet.com/nicfi/) you can use APIs and WMTS to load directly into QGIS, ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online or Python.

Hi,
Let me know if you want any help with solar application for this. I use small remote cameras in the field with 18650 batteries from used laptops and solar cells. The solar panels are pretty cheap, about $15 ordered from amazon. And the charge controllers are about $3 each. The solar setups work well on a mesh setup that I have here but I think as suggested that lora might be the best way to go.

Hi Mark,
This is very interesting. HF transmitters can be very simple and low power, but I would be concerned about their long fragile antennas. I'd contact a local ham club with old people who still do CW over QRP.
You could also look into sigfox. It may be possible to convince the nature reserve or park to install a sigfox network specifically for their own use. But I don't know how much it would cost.
Thanks,
-harold

Can also recommend looking into Argos: https://www.cls-telemetry.com/argos-solutions/argos-services/
The transmitter can send a few messages per day and the messages are received by Argos satellites. To prolong your battery life, I'd recommend looking into adding a solar panel to your system.

Hi Turu,
To be able to assist you, I would like to understand the following first:
1. What feature of data did you export/get from EarthRanger? i.e shapefile? CSV? etc.
2. What coordinate system was your data from EarthRanger?
2. When plotting did you match/project with the correct coordinate system?
3. Do you think there was an active layer with a different projection system in your work frame?
4. Did you check whether your work frame projection was correct to match what you were plotting?
