WWF course on applied Earth Observation

Our EAGLE students joint a course offered by the earth observation unit at WWF and learned how to apply remote sensing within a conservation NGO. They learned a lot and their results are published as story maps on their webpage (https://globil-panda.hub.arcgis.com/pages/news).

The topics were very diverse and challenged our students to think about actual conservation applications, the potential and limits of earth observation and how to communicate it.

They very much enjoyed it and some have already decided to stay with WWF for internships and beyond.
