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 new method of habitat modeling creates a dynamic map that can be updated with new information, revealing potential restoration landscapes that could increase tiger populations by 50%. The open-source mapping system code could potentially be applied to other vulnerable and threatened species, offering hope for the future of wildlife conservation.
