from Dr. Carlos Portillo-Quintero, a distinguished researcher and expert in remote sensing from the Department of Natural Resource Management at Texas Tech University (TTU) in the United States.<\/p><p>Dr. Portillo-Quintero, whose expertise spans fields such as geographic information systems, geospatial technology, and remote sensing, brought new perspectives to the conservation arena due to his extensive experience in developing tools and methodologies for identifying and mapping plant species, as well as monitoring disturbances and detecting deforestation in tropical forests.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"850\"
