Forests Monitoring in the Congo Basin: Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo and Republic of Gabon.

  • Forest cover and loss in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2000 to 2010

    Project description

    Main objective

    • Evaluate quantitatively the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest change in Central Africa through the use of multi-temporal satellite data 

    Specific objectives

    • Provide data and information in various projects (biodiversity, climate modeling, conservation, natural resource management, planning, land use, REDD, etc.).
    • Mapping the extent of forest coverand change in Central Africa

    Methodology

    • The method used is the "Wall-to-Wall", a method developed jointly by the American universities of South Dakota and Maryland in the CARPE program.

    Partners

    • Ministère de l’Environnement, Conservation de la Nature et Tourisme (MECNT), OSFAC, SDSU, UMD, USAID-CARPE, UNIKIN, WRI, NASA

    Duration : Long-term

    Results
