Effects of Freshwater Protected Areas on Survival of a Critically Endangered Cetacean by Yi Han, Wenjing Xu, Kexiong Wang, Ding Wang, Zhigang Mei

“…ABSTRACT Evaluating the effectiveness of freshwater protected areas (FPAs) is crucial for improving their performance, yet evidence remains limited. Using remote sensing and field surveys from 2001 to 2017, we examined FPA coverage, their efficacy in preventing species decline and habitat deterioration, and strategies to enhance FPA effectiveness for the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis). …”

When the Wind Blows: Exposing the Constraints of Drone‐Based Environmental Mapping by Jan Komárek

“…ABSTRACT Drones have become indispensable for high‐resolution, on‐demand remote sensing, yet their valid operational window is far narrower than often portrayed. Using meteorological data from 31 locations in the Czech Republic since 2016, we demonstrate that weather constraints—including precipitation, wind and temperature extremes—collectively limit feasible flight days to roughly 25% per year. …”
