NASA Joins Jane Goodall to Conserve Chimpanzee Habitats

Earth-observing satellites like Landsat have documented the shrinking of chimpanzee habitat, Africa's equatorial forest belt. The Jane Goodall Institute uses Landsat and other satellite data to empower local communities to drive conservation on their own land by creating habitat suitability maps for chimpanzees.Show more

Mobile apps also bring in data in real-time so communities can protect their village forest reserves, and create land use plans for watersheds, people, and chimpanzees. After years of forest loss, the last few decades have seen habitats recovering.
NASA is collaborating with the Jane Goodall Institute to conserve chimpanzee habitats and protect these endangered primates.

By using satellite imagery and other NASA technologies, scientists can better understand and monitor chimpanzee populations and their habitats. This information can then be used to develop conservation strategies and protect chimpanzees from threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and disease.

In this video, we'll learn more about the NASA-Jane Goodall Institute collaboration and how NASA is using its unique capabilities to help conserve chimpanzees. We'll also hear from Dr. Goodall herself about the importance of protecting these amazing animals.
