TL;DR Summary

NASA, the European Space Agency, and Google Earth Engine have collaborated with conservationists to create a real-time monitoring system called TCL 3.0 for tiger habitats, providing vital information to identify priority areas and monitor changes in habitat and populations. This dynamic mapping system uses satellite imagery and GIS technology to track tiger territories and identify potential restoration landscapes, offering hope for increasing tiger populations by 50%. The open-source mapping system could be adapted for other vulnerable species, signaling a positive outlook for wildlife conservation.
