Environmental science: Agree on biodiversity metrics to track from space
Nature, 2015•nature.com
… But there is no agreement on how to translate these measurements into metrics that are
relevant for biodiversity monitoring. We call on conservation and space agencies to agree
on a definitive set of biodiversity variables and how these will be tracked from space, to
address conservation targets. Methods to derive these variables and the set of satellites
needed to observe them must also be decided, to ensure continuous monitoring. To
stimulate discussion, we propose ten variables that capture biodiversity change on the …

Ecologists and space agencies must forge a global monitoring strategy, say Andrew K. Skidmore, Nathalie Pettorelli and colleagues.
