“The products developed through the SERVIR program are invaluable, providing us with near real-time, high-precision monitoring of our forest resources. As the forestry service welcomes a new generation of professionals, investing in capacity building is crucial to equip them with the skills needed to sustainably manage our ecosystems.”
Lieutenant Malick Diallo Directorate of Water, Forests, Hunting, and Soil Conservation (DEFCCS), Senegal; Member of the Multidisciplinary Working Group on Environment
"The establishment of the West African Regional Coastal Observatory represents a watershed moment in our approach to coastal management. By harnessing Earth Observation technologies, we've created a shared monitoring platform that transcends national boundaries, allowing us to track environmental changes with unprecedented precision. This geospatial framework not only helps us understand coastal vulnerabilities but transforms how we collaborate on solutions across the region."
Dr. Kako Nubukpo Commissioner in charge of the Department of Agriculture, Water Resources and the Environment, West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA)
