Prioritizing Nature in a Global Land Squeeze: Monitoring using advanced geospatial data, Google Earth Engine and AI


Big Room

World Resources Institute - WRI presents from monitoring ecosystems and land use, to informing and improving the types of decisions conservation leaders make, advanced geospatial technology and AI tools are key to making data-driven decisions.

Geospatial monitoring of nature and biodiversity is crucial to ensure effective implementation of spatially-explicit plans and positive real world outcomes. Google and WRI have been advancing the science of environmental monitoring together since 2014, providing open, accessible and useful data on land, forests, and ecosystems to national governments, NGOs, IPLCs and civil society.
Learn how countries could use recent advances in science to inform spatial plans and monitor effective conservation outcomes. This session is for policymakers, practitioners, and innovators seeking to harness the power of trusted geospatial data and Google’s planetary-scale analysis platform to achieve this decade’s ambitious nature goals.
