Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of remote sensing technologies and artificial intelligence for ecological monitoring and conservation. It covers the use of aerial and satellite imagery, radar, acoustic sensors, and camera traps for detecting, enumerating, and tracking species and habitats. The research addresses challenges in data collection, analysis, and scalability across diverse environments, including polar regions, alpine meadows, coral reefs, coastal areas, boreal forests, and marine ecosystems. Methodologies often involve machine learning, deep learning, and object detection models to extract ecological indicators and inform management strategies.
