Nepal’s National Land Cover Monitoring System represents a pivotal achievement and is poised to significantly enhance the country’s climate data and efforts to cut emissions and adapt to climate change. This system is important for assessing and overseeing the ever-changing landscape, which is crucial for the sustainable stewardship of Nepal’s natural resources.

The Ecological Modeling Service uses select data sources, derived products, and modeling techniques to better understand the distribution and spread of invasive species.
The Land Use Land Cover and Change Mapping Service was designed to provide governments with data, tools, and skills to better understand relevant intervention actions related to land conservation and management, ensuring that land resources can be efficiently monitored and regulated.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
Forested areas are important to our planet's health because they take in large amounts of carbon and release oxygen. When forests are removed or degraded, less carbon is taken from the atmosphere, and the result is increased carbon emissions, which may hasten climate change and increase its impact.
This collection of case studies is a companion to the SERVIR Service Planning Toolkit. It provides concrete examples from SERVIR’s experience, and that of our partners, applying the Service Planning approach.
Monitoring land cover change over time is essential to understanding ecosystem health, biodiversity, forest carbon cycling, and much more. Land cover/land use (LCLU) data and maps are critical components for climate monitoring applications such as Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reports.
The FRTC, which is under the jurisdiction of Nepal’s Ministry of Forests and Environment, is the government-sanctioned organization that is responsible for forestry research and survey activities at the national level.
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.
