May 22 is World Biodiversity Day, and this year we’re highlighting SERVIR’s commitment to protecting biodiversity in the Amazon Rainforest.
Land Cover Monitoring for Forest Protection and Healthy Ecosystems aims to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while supporting biodiversity conservation and augmenting water conservation.
Mangrove forests do a lot of heavy lifting to mitigate the effects of coastal flooding. As NASA turns the spotlight on oceans this Earth Day, learn how the joint NASA-USAID SERVIR program is using Earth satellites to support these unique ecosystems that protect 15% of the world’s coasts.

This workshop is the third in a series offered by SERVIR Amazonia focused on using remote sensing to monitor mangroves in Guyana.
The Monitoring and Evaluation of Mangroves in Guyana service brings Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and other remote sensing resources to map the extent and structure of mangrove forests along the coast of Guyana.
To sustainably manage forest landscapes, governments and decision makers need accurate and up-to-date information on the extent of the forests they manage and the ways they are changing.
