I would appreciate any examples of the use of modern technology in conservation science which I can use for an undergraduate lecture. The course is titled Conservation Censusing and I would like to end it with some practical examples of modern technology used in this regard. For example, the use of remote sensing methods like LIDAR. Any other ideas?
