    H/T @Chris Marston | Earth Observation specialist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
    “What does it take to map England's landscapes at 3m resolution?
    • 12,852 satellite images processed
    • 1.85 trillion pixels analysed
    • Over 14 billion pixels classified
    • 72 land cover and habitat classes mapped
    [The H/T is] delighted to share the launch of the new UKCEH 3m Resolution Land Cover Map for England.
    Built using PlanetScope satellite imagery, Environment Agency LiDAR, Ordnance Survey datasets and machine learning, this is the most detailed national land cover mapping product that UKCEH has produced to date.
    With every pixel representing a 3m × 3m area, the map captures landscape features that have previously been difficult to identify consistently at national scale, including individual trees, hedgerows, scrub habitats, field margins and urban green spaces.
    For more than three decades, UKCEH Land Cover Maps have helped researchers, policymakers and land managers understand how habitats are distributed across the landscape and how they change over time. The new 3m product marks the next major evolution of that capability, opening up new opportunities for:
    ✅ Biodiversity monitoring and BNG assessment
    ✅ Habitat restoration planning
    ✅ Natural flood management
    ✅ Carbon accounting
    ✅ Ecosystem service assessment
    ✅ Urban green infrastructure planning
    ✅ Agricultural and environmental policy development
    … Academic researchers can access UKCEH's Land Cover Maps, including the new 3m resolution product, free of charge through EDINA's Environment Digimap Service if their institution is registered…”

    “LCM 3m is UKCEH's highest-resolution national habitat map for England, providing habitat and land cover information at 3 metre resolution. It classifies England into 72 habitat and land cover categories and complements UKCEH's established Land Cover Map products by providing finer spatial detail for habitat-focused applications.
    Key Benefits:
    • 3 metre spatial resolution
    • 72 habitat and land cover categories
    • England-wide coverage
    • Broad alignment with UK Habitat Classification (UKHab)
    • 90.89% overall classification accuracy
    The product documentation provides information on the methodology, habitat classification, accuracy assessment, applications and licensing options…”

    “Dr. Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania began in 1960, and transformed our understanding of chimpanzees and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. Dr. Goodall dedicated her life to conservation and community empowerment. Her recent passing marks the end of an extraordinary career in ethology and conservation science. Yet her legacy lives on powerfully through the Jane Goodall Institute [JGI] and the countless individuals and communities she inspired worldwide. Her pioneering work revealed that chimpanzees make and use tools, have complex social structures, and possess individual personalities; discoveries that fundamentally challenged our understanding of what it means to be human, for the better…
    The institute's current work embodies Dr. Goodall's profound philosophy: that humanity can only reach its full potential "when our clever brains and our compassionate hearts are connected."
    This principle guides every aspect of JGI's conservation science strategy, from analyzing satellite data to providing local communities with the tools they need to strengthen their environment. Dr. Goodall's vision that conservation must be rooted in compassion, scientific rigor, and respect for local communities continues to shape the institute's innovative approach to using technology for conservation action.
    As time has gone on, geospatial technologies have become increasingly indispensable to this mission, enabling JGI to monitor forest health in real-time, map critical chimpanzee habitats and migration corridors, and measure the tangible impact of community-led conservation initiatives. But perhaps most importantly, these technologies help the communities understand that the lives of people, animals and their shared environment are all interconnected…”
