The Ecosystem Extent Task Team (EETT) was formed in 2021 to investigate the use of Earth observation data to support the critical Biodiversity variable of Ecosystem Extent.
The EETT has focused mostly on three objectives:
- Develop a white paper that will provide an integrated international perspective on how space-based Earth observations can be used to support ecosystem mapping and monitoring with a focus on ecosystem extent.
- Develop specific ideas to further the concepts in the white paper.
- Explore and propose an initiative to demonstrate the use of EO for ecosystem extent mapping and monitoring.
More about how Earth observations can be used in the framework of Biodiversity can be found here.
