Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Biodiversity is in crisis, with extinction
rates orders of magnitude higher than
background levels (1). Underfunded conservationists
need to target their limited
resources effectively. Over the past decade,
satellite remote sensing has revolutionized
our ability to monitor biodiversity globally,
and is now used routinely, especially by
nongovernmental organizations, to detect
changes, set priorities, and target conservation
action.
