Sample answer
“In my internship at a local environmental agency, we were tasked with assessing deforestation in a region. I used satellite imagery to analyze forest cover changes over five years. By comparing images, I identified areas of significant loss and presented my findings, which led to a targeted conservation effort that reduced illegal logging by 20%. This experience highlighted the importance of imagery analysis in environmental monitoring.”
