The Invasive Species Mapper is a citizen-science smartphone app that crowdsources invasive species detection to give managers information on their current extent and spread.
The Ecological Modeling Service uses select data sources, derived products, and modeling techniques to better understand the distribution and spread of invasive species.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
With a growing population, increased demand for agricultural land and fuel wood are depleting Africa's forests.
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation in the tropics represent major threats to biodiversity and contribute to carbon emissions.
For many years, pastoralists in Northern Kenya have been affected by Opuntia stricta, an invasive cactus native to the Caribbean region and commonly referred to as prickly pear.
The extensive arid and semi-arid lands of northern Kenya are home to a variety of communities. Livelihoods are predominantly livestock based, with limited small-scale crop production. The productivity of the rangelands has been in decline, mainly due to poor management practices.
Users of Collect Earth Online (CEO) around the world are taking advantage of a CEO feature called the Geo-Dash Degradation Tool that allows them to monitor forest degradation, a major source of carbon emissions.
