GDI researchers secure £2 million to establish how satellite and drone data can support socially just conservation

Researchers at the Global Development Institute – Rose Pritchard and Tim Foster – have secured ESRC funding to lead a five-year research project aiming to transform knowledge about the benefits and risks of Earth Observation data and technologies in conservation.

As an action-oriented project, researchers will work directly with people developing, using, and impacted by EO data to understand and reform data-driven conservation practice, thereby enabling just and effective responses to the biodiversity crisis.
