EO Africa Invitations to Tender

Invitation to Tender: “Rangeland monitoring for Africa using Earth Observation – continental demonstrator (RAMONA)”

Rangelands cover vast expanses of the terrestrial land surface and provide important ecological functions e.g. for carbon sequestration or to prevent land degradation. In Africa, rangelands provide the basis for many livelihoods and are closely coupled to food security and conflict, especially in arid and marginal agro-ecological conditions. Earth Observation (EO) based monitoring of rangeland …

SenSPa – Sentinels for Sustainable Pasture Management

Prime company: KARTECO ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY (GR)

Grasslands are a major part of the global ecosystem, covering 37 % of the earth’s terrestrial area. For a variety of reasons, mostly related to overgrazing and the resulting problems of soil erosion and weed encroachment, many of the world’s natural grasslands are in poor condition and showing signs of degradation. There is general agreement …

RS4EBV: Remote Sensing for Essential Biodiversity Variables (DUE Innovator III Series)

Prime company: UN WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE (UN-WCMC) (GB)

Biodiversity is facing a global crisis as evidenced by dramatic declines in species and habitats. Tracking the state of biodiversity requires operational monitoring systems underpinned by robust indicators. While these indicators convey invaluable information to policy makers on the status and trends of biodiversity, their use is hampered due to patchy geographical coverage of input …
