This workshop is the third in a series offered by SERVIR Amazonia focused on using remote sensing to monitor mangroves in Guyana.
A blog posted by Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) describes ways that the new SERVIR-Amazonia hub will bring geospatial information to assist with sustainable development problems and natural resource protection for the Amazonia region.
While mangroves ordinarily provide multiple benefits to Guyana's coast, they are currently under threat due to rising sea levels, deforestation, and coastal erosion.
SERVIR is helping protect biodiversity and human lives in Guyana by working with communities to keep a watchful eye on the health of coastal mangrove forests.
SERVIR Amazonia supports sustainable development throughout the Amazon region by strengthening the capacity of governments and other key stakeholders through the integration of Earth Observation and geospatial technologies. The hub strives to build capacity to improve decision-making and to better incorporate the voice of women, indigenous peoples and their communities.
