Habitat mapping

Habitat mapping is the process of identifying and graphing where different natural environments, or habitats, are located across a specific area. It involves collecting data through field surveys, satellite images, and remote sensing to classify regions as forests, wetlands, grasslands, or urban areas. This spatial information helps scientists and conservationists understand the distribution and condition of habitats, assess environmental changes, and make informed decisions for land use and ecosystem management. Essentially, habitat mapping provides a detailed map that shows the layout and types of natural environments present in a given region.
