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.
This service supports Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), is a low-cost land restoration technique used to combat poverty, hunger, and Sahara desert encroachments amongst low-income farmers by increasing ecosystem services; and resilience to climate extremes.
The Enabling Sustainable Landscape-Scale Agricultural Management through Fire and Air Quality Monitoring service guides authorities to regulate agriculture burning and manage forest fires using the Mekong Air Quality Explorer Tool.
This dry season, communities in the central and northern Amazon face increased fire risk linked to El Niño. With the support of SERVIR, decision-makers can more easily track and respond to these fires.

The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
When irrigation isn't available, it's important to know when to expect rain. But with changes to our climate, farmers in West Africa can no longer count on a predictable weather. To mitigate this, SERVIR West Africa works with AGRHYMET to improve access to reliable weather and crop forecasts.
