About this award
Island Conservation, a non-profit organization specializing in invasive species management and ecosystem restoration, received a $871.5K grant award from NASA (through the Shared Services Center) on October 1, 2023, for a research project titled "Biggest Bang for Your Buck: Using NASA Earth Observations to Understand and Maximize Holistic Ecosystem Benefits from Invasive Mammal Eradications on Islands." The project, scheduled for completion by September 30, 2027, will leverage NASA's earth observation capabilities to assess and optimize the ecological outcomes of invasive mammal eradication efforts on islands. The work will be performed at Island Conservation's office in Santa Cruz, California, with no set-aside designation applied to this award.
This research initiative aligns with NASA's broader environmental monitoring and earth science objectives by developing methodologies that quantify the ecosystem-wide benefits of invasive species removal using satellite and remote sensing data. Island Conservation's work under this grant will advance understanding of how targeted eradication campaigns affect native species recovery, habitat restoration, and overall island biodiversity, generating actionable insights for conservation practitioners and federal agencies managing island ecosystems. The multi-year project reflects NASA's commitment to applying space-based observations to critical conservation challenges and Island Conservation's established track record of implementing large-scale invasive species management programs across U.S. territories and Pacific island regions in partnership with federal agencies.
