This fact sheet highlights how the Charcoal Production Site Monitoring Service is facilitating forest degradation monitoring of charcoal production sites in Ghana.
A Rocha Ghana (ARG) is an established environmental organization in Ghana that helps communities adapt to their changing natural environments. It currently works in the West Gonja District in northern Ghana where charcoal production is widespread.
With floods and droughts as two of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the regions it serves, SERVIR strives to be on the cutting edge in addressing challenges related to water.
On July 14, 2016, NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) launched SERVIR-West Africa, a joint project to strengthen environmental monitoring in West Africa.
How does one leverage the latest scientific and technological advances to place the power of the Cloud and Earth observations (EO) at the fingertips of researchers based in dynamically changing countries?
