abstract = {In the “digital conservation” age, big data from Earth observations and from social
media have been increasingly used to tackle conservation challenges. Here, we combined
information from those two digital sources in a multimodel inference framework
to identify, map, and predict the potential for nature’s cultural contributions to
people in two contrasting UNESCO biosphere reserves: Doñana and Sierra Nevada
(Spain). The content analysis of Flickr pictures revealed different cultural contributions,
according to the natural and cultural values of the two reserves. Those contributions
relied upon landscape variables computed from Earth observation data: the
variety of colors and vegetation functioning that characterize Doñana landscapes, and
the leisure facilities, accessibility features, and heterogeneous landscapes that shape
Sierra Nevada. Our findings suggest that social media and Earth observations can
aid in the cost-efficient monitoring of nature’s contributions to people, which underlie
many Sustainable Development Goals and conservation targets in protected areas
worldwide.},
