Briefings
Karl Burkart, director of the Nature Data Lab, introduced Global Safety Net v3 (GSN3), a geospatial platform using satellite imagery and AI to monitor global biodiversity. The initiative aims to track landscape health against the UN's 30x30 goal, which requires protecting 30% of land and oceans by 2030. Burkart emphasized that conservation efforts must focus on critical ecosystems essential for biodiversity and human livelihoods. The article was originally published on Mongabay.
Key points
- Global Safety Net v3 (GSN3) is a geospatial data platform utilizing satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to assess the health of global landscapes.
- The 30x30 goal requires 30% of the world's land and oceans to be protected by 2030, with GSN3 serving as a tool to verify if designated areas meet this priority.
Context and limitations
The evidence covers the introduction of GSN3 and its alignment with the 30x30 goal, but does not provide data on current global land cover statistics, specific conservation outcomes, or implementation timelines.
