==== Discovery of new species ====
In 2005, Landsat imagery assisted in the discovery of new species. Conservation scientist Julian Bayliss wanted to find areas that could potentially become conservation forests using Landsat generated satellite images. Bayliss saw a patch in Mozambique that until then had no detailed information. On a reconnaissance trip, he found great diversity of wildlife as well as three new species of butterflies and a new snake species. Following his discovery, he continued to study this forest and was able to map and determine the forest extent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-imagery-leads-to-discovery-of-new-species/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170430083925/https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-imagery-leads-to-discovery-of-new-species/|archive-date=2017-04-30|title=Landsat Imagery Leads to Discovery of New Species - Landsat Science|publisher=NASA}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>
