I am thrilled to share my latest research, Dynamic Trajectories of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, published in the Turkish Journal of Forestry. Using Landsat satellite imagery and the machine learning-based Random Forest algorithm, we analyzed land cover transitions from 2013 to 2022. Our findings reveal a significant forest loss of 28,095 hectares (24% of the total forest area), driven by urbanization, population growth, and infrastructure development. This study underscores the urgent need for sustainable land management policies to balance development and ecological preservation. 📖 Read more at: DOI: 10.18182/tjf.1524144 #Research #Sustainability #LandUseChange #LombokIsland #MachineLearning #GIS #Forestry
