Participatory Geographic Information Systems (P-GIS) for natural resource management and food security in Africa : ict4d article, March 2011
2011
This pan-African programme of research contributes to making available good quality, reliable and accessible information systems through P-GIS to improve natural resources management and promote food security. Excessive deforestation of the Gishwati mountainous forest, with subsequent changes in biodiversity, are a result of growth in population density; creating a land cover map is important for evaluating and monitoring the trend of forest and biodiversity losses. Medium resolution imagery detects and monitors visual information, showing land use change of forested areas, and correlates it with other data gradients of biodiversity loss and changes occurring in the area.
