Earth Observation - Agriculture and Conservation

This educational presentation introduces Earth observation and explains how satellite data becomes practical insight. It uses South African examples to explore NDVI, rooibos farming, drought planning, wildfire assessment, and conservation. It then covers shoreline change, storm impacts, illegal fishing, vessel detection, and marine protection. Designed for Grades 8–12, the deck combines explanations, case studies, and visual comparison activities.
