"The seventh webinar titled ‘ Geospatial technology for LULC and biodiversity studies’ of the Geoinformatics Webinar Series  was organized on 21st May 2021. 

The speakers for the webinar Dr Rakesh Paliwal, Regional Remote Sensing Center, Jodhpur, Department of Space and Dr Gautam Talukdar, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun educated the participants on the use of Geoinformatics technology in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) and Biodiversity Conservation. 

LULC maps help in understanding the landscape and enable monitoring of temporal dynamic of agriculture ecosystems, forest conservation and surface water bodies etc. 

Geoinformatics technology is also very useful in Biodiversity Conservation as various tools of Geoinformatics can help in obtaining real-time information about flora and fauna of any region which eventually helps in devising effective strategies for Biodiversity Conversation.
