Review on Satellite Tracking of Migratory Birds and Its Prospect

Studies on satellite tracking of migratory birds and on satellite image analysis of their habitat were reviewed.The advantage and development of these new technologies were discussed by comparing with traditional methods.Overlaying satellite locations on satellite images is particularly important and powerful to show the route selection and habitat use of migratory birds.However,there are few studies on relevant subjects by combining the two technologies. Finally,we discussed how these studies can contribute to the conservation of migratory birds.
