The Resilient Forest Management in Nepal is designed to assess the current state of forest ecosystems, identify the drivers of change, and explore suitable adaptation and mitigation measures.
May 22 is World Biodiversity Day, and this year we’re highlighting SERVIR’s commitment to protecting biodiversity in the Amazon Rainforest.
Mangrove forests do a lot of heavy lifting to mitigate the effects of coastal flooding. As NASA turns the spotlight on oceans this Earth Day, learn how the joint NASA-USAID SERVIR program is using Earth satellites to support these unique ecosystems that protect 15% of the world’s coasts.

The Climate Resilient Forest Management System in Nepal enhances decision-making at the district level in Nepal by providing more precise and scientific information on climate change vulnerability and degradation of forest ecosystems.
The Monitoring and Evaluation of Mangroves in Guyana service brings Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and other remote sensing resources to map the extent and structure of mangrove forests along the coast of Guyana.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
The crucial role forests play in our world cannot be underestimated. To enhance preservation and monitoring of this natural resource, SERVIR and SilvaCarbon launched a series of global workshops this year in West Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, Hindu-Kush Himalaya, and the Lower Mekong region on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications.
Forest fires have adverse ecological and economic effects and are a major concern in many countries, including Nepal. During the long, dry summers, Nepal experiences many forest fires. In 2016, a record number of fires were reported killing 15 people and consuming an area of 13,000 square kilometers (1.3 hectares) in the span of just two weeks.
This workshop is the third in a series offered by SERVIR Amazonia focused on using remote sensing to monitor mangroves in Guyana.
