SatBird: Bird Species Distribution Modeling with Remote Sensing and Citizen Science Data. (arXiv:2311.00936v1 [cs.LG])

Biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, impacting ecosystem
services necessary to ensure food, water, and human health and well-being.
Understanding the distribution of species and their habitats is crucial for
conservation policy planning. However, traditional methods in ecology for
species distribution models (SDMs) generally focus either on narrow sets of
species or narrow geographical areas and there remain significant knowledge
gaps about the distribution of species. A major reason for this is the limited
availability of data traditionally used, …
