Consequently, remote sensing imagery can be used in a post-processing step to create more detailed and up-to-date maps of species' present-day potential distributions. Combining climate with remote sensing data will improve ability to generate ENMs that describe historical ranges in the form of potential distribution maps (i.e., ENMs based on climate) and present-day suitable areas (i.e., ENM based on climate + nighttime light data). While ENM is growing in importance
