Jane Goodall: GIS For Science, Education and Action

There is arguably no greater authority on conservation than Dr. Jane Goodall. The UN Messenger of Peace and founder of The Jane Goodall institute has dedicated almost 80 years to her conservation work and the results of that work is evident all over the world. Combined with the use of technology and her research, Goodall knows firsthand how the world of conservation is shifting for the better. While Goodall is the first to acknowledge that the future of conservation is changing, its relationship with technology as well as our role in protecting our planet, she is also hopeful. GIS technology has allowed Goodall’s work to expand its reach and in turn the positive effect it’s having. Using satellite images to guide her, Goodall was able to identify the extent of #deforestation and the impact that humans have on destroying our natural habitat. With that in mind, advancing science education became a priority for Goodall, as evidenced by her time in the Gombe National Forest in Tanzania. By introducing GIS satellite imagery mapping and working with the community and their particular needs, such as growing more food and monitoring the health of their forests, Goodall ensured that this data was available to the villagers themselves, giving them agency in their future. With the help of GIS technology and its community, the conservation landscape has changed for the better. The more we understand, the more we can do to help save our planet. Tune in to hear what the conservation expert has to say about how #GIS technology is helping to advance science education and how you can take action to save our only home. https://www.esri.com/en-us/industries...
