Summary
In this final chapter, we identify and discuss shared themes and lessons learned from the preceding six case study chapters and one organisational perspective chapter. Commonalities were (i) collaboration, (ii) free, open, and accessible data, (iii) spatial and temporal resolution of satellite observations, (iv) types of satellite observations used, (v) building and enabling remote sensing capacity, (vi) customised tool development and visualisations, (vii) integrating in situ and Earth observations, and (viii) a role for serendipity. We then provide our perspective on the future of conservation remote sensing.
