Abstract

The integration of digital technologies such as remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), drones, and real-time data platforms has significantly enhanced environmental monitoring capabilities worldwide. However, the rapid expansion of these technologies has outpaced the development of adequate legal frameworks to regulate their use, ensure data integrity, and protect privacy. This article explores the benefits and risks associated with digital environmental monitoring and examines the need for robust legal regulation to guide responsible and effective implementation. The paper provides a comparative overview of international practices and outlines key recommendations for national legislators.
