14. Do you know about Remote Sensing agencies and associations in your country? (exclusive answer)
(a) Yes, I do (36%)
(b) I am afraid I don’t (55%)
(c) I am aware of something similar (9%)
15. Overall and from your point of view, the main remote sensing applications are:
(not exclusive answer)
(a) Mapping of vegetation, habitats, species etc. (81%)
(b) Valuable images to visualize the territory (64%)
(c) Information to characterize land use cover change through time (100%)
(d) Very detailed images to detect, identify and discriminate specific features
such as wildfires, forest decay, etc. (91%)
(e) Landscape analysis (connectivity, fragmentation, etc.) (73%)
(f) Quantitative information of the territory (biomass, primary production,
etc.) (73%)
(g) Others, please specify
16. Which of the following do you think are the constraints of using remote sensing
applications in your day-to-day work: (not exclusive answer)
(a) A too high degree of knowledge required to deal with the information provided by remote sensing sources (73%)
(b) Very high prices of the very high resolution images (both for satellite, airborne and drone) (55%)
(c) Overall ignorance of the operational applications (46%)
(d) Low temporal resolution of the available remote sensing images (9%)
(e) Low spatial resolution of the available remote sensing images (18%)
(f) Others, please specify: lack of time and low interest level of the staff on
such techniques
17. Do you think there are enough lectures on remote sensing in the University
degrees related to nature conservation? (such as Biological or Environmental
Sciences, Forestry, Geography, etc.) (exclusive answer)
(a) Yes (0%)
(b) No (54%)
(c) I don’t know (46%)
Although the size of the sampled population is low, the survey provides a preliminary overview of the knowledge that this group of conservation managers had
on the topic. They mostly knew about different and specific remote sensing applications such as LiDAR or vegetation indices, while they miss more skilled staff at the
management agencies.
We kindly encourage the readers to read the book and fill the survey available
online in order to enhance the knowledge on the success in transferring remote sensing applications to nature conservation and management.
