Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This series, produced by the FAO Environment and Natural Resources Service, is intended for decision-makers such as heads and division directors of national and international organizations and administrations, as well as for project managers, planners and policy-makers of development institutions. Its aim is to present new possibilities of using remote sensing and geographic information system techniques to aid planning for, and management of, renewable natural resources in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. This issue is specifically intended for decisionmakers concerned with the control of vector-borne diseases and the management of rangeland resources.

    Cette série, produite par le Service de l’environnement et des ressources naturelles de la FAO s’adresse aux décideurs que sont les chefs de service et directeurs de division d’administrations nationales et internationales, les directeurs de projet, les planificateurs et les responsables d’organismes de développement. Elle a pour objet de présenter les diverses possibilités d’appliquer les nouvelles techniques de télédétection et d’utilisation de systèmes d’informations géographiques pour faciliter la planification et la gestion des ressources naturelles renouvelables dans les secteurs de l’agriculture, de la foresterie et des pêches. Le présent numéro est plus spécialement destiné aux décideurs chargés d’appliquer les mesures de lutte contre les maladies à transmission vectorielle, et d’assurer la gestion des parcours.

    Tropical forests are key to the global carbon balance but face serious threats from deforestation and degradation. Accurate estimates of above-ground biomass density (AGBD) are crucial for climate reporting and initiatives like REDD+, yet many West African countries lack reliable forest inventory data. This limits their ability to monitor carbon stocks, validate remote sensing data, and access climate finance.To address these gaps, FAO launched the “Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate: A focus on West Africa” project. The initiative integrates satellite LiDAR data from NASA’s GEDI with field plots and UAV-based laser scanning (UAV-LS) to produce consistent, high-quality AGBD estimates. Implemented with partners in Ghana, Oxford, and Maryland, the project aims to build harmonized regional biomass datasets that strengthen forest monitoring and support effective climate action across West Africa.
