Abstract

Integrative Approaches to Restoration Performance Monitoring
Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Peter Kobylarz

Restoration projects aim to restore, enhance, or protect critical habitats for endangered and endemic plant and wildlife species. These projects rely on performance criteria monitoring to determine the efficacy of the restoration effort. WRA is developing an integrative approach to performance monitoring which combines traditional methods with technology like UAV derived data and advanced remote sensing. We will discuss the techniques used and the benefits this approach provides.
