The USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia and Thailand International Cooperation Agency, along with other regional partner in Thailand in Lao PDR launched today a trilateral Transboundary Air Quality Management Project.
Air quality is a significant challenge for Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), a high mountain region of South Asia, where it frequently reaches unhealthy to hazardous levels. New SERVIR HKH web and mobile tools developed through crowdsourcing aim to help public health and environmental managers monitor and forecast air quality for this region.

This fact sheet highlights how the Charcoal Production Site Monitoring Service is facilitating forest degradation monitoring of charcoal production sites in Ghana.
The service, Building a Dashboard to Monitor, Evaluate and Report Landscape Improvements in Cambodia, addresses the demand from USAID/Cambodia to monitor and evaluate projects that target biophysical improvement and enhance biodiversity conservation on the ground.
The Charcoal Production Site Monitoring Service is a web-based platform for visualizing the spatial distribution of charcoal production sites, thereby facilitating forest degradation monitoring in the study areas.
Collect Earth Online is a custom built, open-source, satellite image viewing and interpretation system developed by SERVIR, FAO, and other partners as a tool for use in projects that require land cover and/or land use data.
The Ecosystem Services Modeling in the Amazon's Forest-Agricultural Interface service provides accurate maps for stakeholders and decision-makers to understand how agricultural production can lead to deforestation, particularly due to palm oil and cacao production.
