Remote sensing technologies have advanced significantly in recent years, enabling detailed monitoring of forest cover changes over large areas. In Zimbabwe, where deforestation and degradation are significant issues, remote sensing can provide valuable insights into habitat recovery efforts and biodiversity conservation. Remote sensing data from satellites and drones were processed through a multi-temporal analysis framework, incorporating spectral and spatial information to track vegetation dynamics. Statistical models were applied to analyse the relationship between restoration activities and environmental outcomes. A significant increase in forest cover was observed over five years (from 40% to 52%), with an average annual growth rate of 3%. Species diversity indices showed a 15% rise, indicating improved ecological health. These results support the effectiveness of restoration efforts. This study demonstrates the utility of remote sensing in evaluating forest restoration projects and their impact on biodiversity conservation. The findings underscore the need for continued monitoring and adaptive management strategies. Recommendation is to integrate satellite data into ongoing ecological assessments, facilitating timely interventions and enhancing the effectiveness of future restoration initiatives. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
