Temporal Change Studies in Kaziranga National Park

A decade-long analysis of Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and critical habitat for the one-horned rhinoceros, reveals significant temporal changes in its landscape driven by natural and anthropogenic factors. Using advanced satellite imagery processing techniques from 2014 to 2022, researchers quantified fluctuations in water bodies—primarily due to the Brahmaputra River's flood cycles—and observed patterns of vegetation regrowth and decline. The study highlights the dual role of these floods: enriching alluvial soils while challenging wildlife conservation efforts. By combining multispectral analysis, change detection algorithms, and supervised classification methods, this research underscores the potential of satellite-based monitoring to support evidence-driven conservation strategies in dynamic ecosystems.
