Mabel Baez Schon is a mixed methods research scientist working with diverse stakeholders to advance data-driven and people-centered solutions through collaboration. Her expertise in ecosystem ecology, resource management, and remote sensing products combined with robust facilitation skills enable her to bridge science with applied work.
Our need to understand biodiversity pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with remote sensing. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has set ambitious targets for every country to meet by 2030, but 75% of the indicators don’t have data to monitor them. Companies are being asked to disclose biodiversity impacts but don’t know where to start, and the reality of conservation on the ground is always more complicated. Join us for a lively discussion on the state of the art, and the need for better mapping of biodiversity, ecosystem conditions, and nature’s value to people.
