This case investigates the benefits of using a remote sensing solution based on Sentinel data to help Lonjsko Polje, a nature park in Croatia, understand where and how invasive plant species are overrunning areas within the park. Invasive alien species are non-native organisms which can harm local ecosystems, compete with native species for resources, alter habitats, and disrupt ecological balance, leading to biodiversity loss and potential extinctions.
