Almost half of the #irrecoverable carbon in #Kenya is outside #protected/conservation areas. We need to target these areas in our efforts to fight #climatechange @Jamah2000 @vitalsignsdata @KeForestService @theGEF @ConservationOrg @Sir_Psam @PeterAlele @Esendivictor

Kenya is progressing on well with the development of an Integrated #Monitoring, Reporting & #Verification system; https://t.co/szNXXGNssp This will help centralize the #climatechange actions @vitalsignsdata @Environment_Ke @kilimoKE @Sir_Psam @PeterAlele @Esendivictor

[Kiptenai @TomKiptenai]

Ever wondered how you can quickly turn #EO data to information that can guide restoration efforts? Then https://t.co/P37dWWzamd could be the solution. #Map #Landdegradation #carbonemission due to #deforestation determine #potentialrestoration sites

Remote sensing technology minimizes disruptions in the monitoring of environmental and food security projects during this COVID era. Check out this article I wrote in Evaluation Matters https://t.co/WBo7h6CwiB

[Kiptenai @TomKiptenai]

With #EarthObservation projects can be monitored & assessed even when going to the field is challenging, costly & inappropriate. Read an article from @endenga on how #remotesensing has been applied to M&A the @ResFoodSystems project @ICRAF @IFAD @vitalsignsdata @ConservationOrg

Reversing land degradation requires the right tools and the right people so we couldn't be more grateful for this training and all those involved!

Land degradation analysis is critical in guiding land restoration interventions, monitoring restoration progress, and informing policy. 3/

This week, our GIS/Remote Sensing Analyst @TomKiptenai and Technical Manager @endenga conducted a virtual training on land degradation analysis & mapping for personel of the Government of 🇺🇬 and @ResFoodSystems project. @min_waterUg @MAAIF_Uganda @ibrahimthiaw @NFAUG 1/

[Vital Signs @vitalsignsdata]

The trainees learnt about https://t.co/ERl43ugs1V, a tool developed by @ConservationOrg to cost-effectively monitor land degradation. The tool is used by countries to report on their land degradation neutrality obligations to @UNCCD. 2/

[Alison Ndenga @endenga]

A very engaging training session with the RFS Uganda team on using https://t.co/k8GqBfqmT9 tool to assess land degradation analysis and land cover transitions!

Building #capacity of government & project officials goes an extra mile in ensuring that #landdegradation can be #mapped at the lowest possible unit. @min_waterUg

Most #degraded land in #Uganda is highlighted in red. #Restoration efforts should concentrate in these areas @DEarthAfrica @UgandaMediaCent @vitalsignsdata @Afr100_Official @Mamadou_AFR100 @PeterAlele @rcmrd @min_waterUg @NFAUG
