Abstract
Wildlife habitat mapping strongly supports applications in natural resource management, environmental conservation, impacts of anthropogenic activity, perturbed ecosystem restoration, species-at-risk recovery and species inventory. Remote sensing has long been identified as a feasible and effective technology for large-area habitat mapping. However, existing and future uncertainties in remote sensing will definitely have a significant effect on the relevant scientific research. This article attempts to identify the current challenges and opportunities in remote sensing for large-area wildlife habitat mapping, and accordingly provide possible solutions and directions for further research.
