Books are usually the final expression of an idea, as was the case with this one.
From the moment of conception to its delivery and publication, many people have
emerged to silently push the editors in the right direction. This book has been
possible only because of the cooperation and support of very many friends and
colleagues over recent years. Most of them are devoted to conservation manage at
different scales and in different subject areas but with a common requirement: for
technology to enhance their day-to-day work. Thanks to these we decided to stop
the race and walk slowly to share our experiences in using remote sensing tools,
applications and products.
Initially our thanks must go to the corresponding authors who have worked
closely with us to provide the chapters for the book, namely, Jeroen Vanden Borre,
Pete Bunting, Anna Allard, Gwawr Jones, Katie Medcalf, Marcos Jiménez, Abigail
Sanders, Madhura Niphadkar, Jens Oldeland, Michael Schneider and Sonali Ghosh.
We are also grateful to the many associate authors involved in producing the chapters of the book: these appear in the list of contributors.
Our gratitude is also extended to the publishing editors and technicians at
Springer NL, particularly Nel van der Werf, for their faith, encouragement, patience
and support throughout the writing and collation phases of the publication process.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our families, particularly Yolanda, Jara
and Chris, for their endless patience, particularly during the period of collating this
book. Furthermore, we will be forever grateful to those who decide to participate in
our living survey “Remote Sensing Awareness by Nature Conservation Staff and Its
Use”, available at https://goo.gl/GqC63f.
