The Living England project, initiated by Natural England, utilizes satellite imagery and various datasets to create an intricate habitat map of England. By employing artificial intelligence, it enhances the efficiency of tracking habitat changes, thereby accelerating planning and land usage decisions while safeguarding nature. The project's foundation rests on various data sources, including Copernicus satellites and ground surveyor data, operating within a framework of machine learning which allows for meticulous habitat modeling despite challenges such as cloud cover affecting satellite imagery.
"Living England uses AI to track changes to habitats more efficiently, speeding up decisions around planning and land use while better protecting nature."
"The project demonstrates how combining multiple datasets with human observations improves the accuracy of machine learning, with contributions from Copernicus and the Environment Agency's LIDAR Programme."
