This image depicts endangered albatross birds on a remote island off the coast of Argentina. The faint white dots seen in the picture are the albatrosses. Remote sensing can be used to count endangered species in remote locations.The use of satellite imagery to count endangered species is important since it makes it easier to study population sizes in remote areas, such as these islands, which are usually difficult to get to and pose a risk of disturbing natural habitats if traveled to.
