Project Details
Integrating remote sensing, drone imagery, and local ecological knowledge to understand rangeland changes in Nepal
This study will assess changing spatial and temporal dynamics of rangeland ecosystems, and identify underlying drivers of such changes at a national scale. Three objectives include: 1) assess spatial and temporal dynamics of rangelands, and underlying causes of change at multiple scales; 2) examine changes in ecosystem service provision as result of changes in rangelands; and 3) document the consequences of rangeland changes on local livelihoods. This project is funded by the National Geographic Society, USA.
