In the modern age, Earth-observing satellites such as Landsat have been instrumental in tracking the reduction of chimpanzee habitat within Africa's equatorial forest belt. The Jane Goodall Institute harnesses the power of Landsat and other satellite data to empower local communities, enabling them to take charge of conservation efforts on their own lands. This is achieved by generating habitat suitability maps for chimpanzees. Furthermore, the integration of mobile applications allows real-time data collection, enabling communities to safeguard their forest reserves and formulate comprehensive land use plans that consider the needs of both people and chimpanzees. Despite years of forest degradation, the past few decades have witnessed a remarkable resurgence in habitat restoration.
