How drones are helping scientists locate endangered plants

This interactive webpage presents a visual exploration of the global recovery of plant life after the COVID-19 lockdowns. The analysis is based on satellite data that tracks the levels of photosynthetic activity and vegetation greenness worldwide. The visualizations show how different regions and countries experienced changes in plant growth during the pandemic and subsequent reopening phases. The data indicates a temporary rebound in vegetation as human activity decreased, particularly in urban areas. However, as restrictions eased, the plant recovery trend began to normalize. The page also provides additional insights into specific countries' plant recovery patterns and compares them to the global average.
