The Mapping Soil Fertility in Ecuador service, in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Agriculture, generated high-resolution (30 m) digital soil maps of key nutrients for agricultural development.
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.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, over 2 billion people rely on forests for shelter, livelihoods, water, food, and fuel security. Forests even help renew our air supply, as they take in large amounts of carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
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.
