Documentary abstract — original language

Geospatial technologies are revolutionizing biodiversity monitoring by enabling spatially explicit, repeatable, and near real-time observations of species, habitats, and ecosystem processes. Advances in Earth observation, drone-based remote sensing, environmental DNA (eDNA) georeferencing, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing have enhanced the ability to detect environmental changes, analyze ecological patterns, and assess conservation outcomes. These tools offer detailed insights into land-cover dynamics, vegetation structure, species distribution, and ecological connectivity, supporting evidence-based management across scales. Integrating diverse datasets such as optical, radar, LiDAR, hyperspectral imagery, UAV data, in situ sensors and molecular records improves ecological understanding and conservation planning. However, challenges such as data bias, validation requirements, ethical concerns, and unequal global access remain. This study reviews technological advances, applications, limitations, and future directions in geospatial biodiversity monitoring, emphasizing the importance of combining digital tools with inclusive governance and ecological knowledge for effective and equitable biodiversity conservation.
