East and Southern Africa’s conservation landscape is undergoing a digital revolution, fueled by a partnership between Actility and the Connected Conservation Foundation (CCF). Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology already enhances protection across 2.8 million hectares, enabling Protected Areas to monitor and safeguard iconic biodiversity and ecosystems. Ambitiously, the coalition aims to expand this network to secure 20 million hectares through IoT and satellite monitoring by 2030.

In celebration of National Space Week, the second edition of the 'Satellites for Biodiversity Award' takes flight. Its mission propels the adoption of very high-resolution satellite imagery to address the global loss of wildlife and accelerate habitat preservation and efforts to confront the imminent sixth mass extinction event.

The Connected Conservation Foundation and Airbus Foundation are proud to announce the winners of its Satellites for Biodiversity Award and launch of a Masai Mara Satellite Sandbox to accelerate the application and learning of using VHR data for safeguarding endangered species and natural ecosystems from space.
