Deforestation prevention with land use monitoring and valuation in Côte d’Ivoire
The project helps policy makers, forestry protection and reforestation agencies, agricultural and budget officials, commodity buyers and growers and other local actors to make better decisions. It provides them with the IMAGE toolkit for up-to-date information on land use, economic statistics and deforestation. By showing the value of natural capital and vastly improving forest monitoring, the programme could substantially contribute to improved economic and environmental outcomes. Remote Sensing Applications Consultants use newly available optical and radar data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellite missions to detail surface cover at 10 metre precision.
