About Wildlife Waterholes
In this project we ask you to help us to identify waterholes in key conservation areas in Cambodia and Namibia for wildlife monitoring and conservation purposes. The project uses high resolution Earth Observation satellite imagery from the European Space Agency and Urthecast, and is a partnership between WWF and Imperative Space.
Identifying the location, size and persistence of waterholes helps scientists and WWF conservationists to predict important animal migrations and take steps to protect populations. This information can also be used to help counter illegal illegal poaching activity, as poachers often target waterholes because of their abundance of wildlife.
This project is a part of the ESA Crowd4Sat initiative.
