There are thousands of satellites in orbit around our planet right now. And when it comes to protecting the environment and tracking changes in our climate, they've become indispensable too. If only there wasn't the little issue of all that space debris ... In RESET's latest special feature, we've been taking a look at the potentials - and pitfalls - of satellites and drones for a sustainable future on this planet.
Digitalisation has long since arrived in agriculture. But how do these developments contribute to environmental and climate protection? We present solutions.
Ever heard of edible electronics? Sounds like a contradiction in terms, but it could be a solution to reducing electronic waste, among other benefits.
Researchers have developed a biodegradable drone with sensors designed to gather key environmental data in hard-to-reach locations.
We spoke to Stephan Bohn from the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) about the extent to which digital tools and platforms have an impact on rainforest protection in Indonesia.
Biodiversity field research is never straightforward — especially in the rainforest. However, a new automated drone is looking to make things a little easier.
Setting up sensor networks can be expensive and time consuming. A new project from the University of Washington has turned to nature for solutions.
A US startup hopes its 'mircoballoon' platform can provide aerial photography to a new host of users, including charities, farmers and rescuers.
Satellites have long been used to monitor deforestation, but how can that data be used to actively create results on the ground?
