Hola!
Did you know that to combat climate change and preserve biodiversity, geo-data is vital for tracking deforestation and monitoring the melting of ice caps, or that precision farming and crop monitoring are powered by satellite imagery and geospatial information, or that mapping the urban sprawl can support the efficient use of land and therefore promote economic and social activities within an urban area?
But more importantly, do you know who makes these vital decisions possible? Geospatial professionals.
