Landsat imagery and Trimble's eCognition software prove invaluable to conservation efforts in Laos.
The Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area covers almost 600,000 hectares of wild, mountainous terrain in northern Laos. The area is home to one of the last tiger populations in Indochina and one of the most important remaining populations of northern white-cheeked crested gibbons, a critically endangered primate found only in Vietnam, Laos and southern China.
