Whales highly mobile and inaccessible lifestyle present considerable challenges for monitoring and conservation; however, as sentinel species, whale strandings can act as early warning systems. Rising multifaceted anthropogenic and environmental threats across the globe are likely to coincide with an increase in reported strandings, but monitoring is biased towards populated coastlines. Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery offers the prospect of upscaling monitoring of mass strandings in unpopulated and inaccessible areas, over broader spatial and temporal scales not possible with traditional monitoring methods, and can be used to retrospectively analyse historical stranding events. VHR satellite imagery is an emerging, complementary tool to monitor mass strandings; however, for this to be a viable tool for the long-term monitoring of mass strandings, significant technical, practical, and environmental considerations and challenges must be addressed. +## New 3D and point cloud features in QGIS 3.26 + +**Time:** 27 May 2022 [13h00 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2022&month=05&day=27&hour=13&min=00&sec=0&msg=QGISOpenDay-session2 "click this link to find out the time in your local time zone"). + +**Duration:** ~ 60 mins + +**Venue:** FIXME + +**Presenters:** Lutra Team + +**Description:** +We are going to through the list of brand new features that has been added in QGIS 3.24 and in the upcoming QGIS 3.26 release, mainly thanks to the recent [crowdfunding campaign by Lutra Consulting, North Road and Hobu](https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/elevation-pointcloud-enhancements-qgis/).

We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.
