Realizamos el lanzamiento del aplicativo para monitoreo de erosión laminar en la Amazonía 🇪🇨
El trabajo asociativo 🤝 entre USAID, SERVIR Amazonia y Fundación EcoCiencia nos permite contribuir al cuidado del medio ambiente, mediante el control de la erosión en suelo.
#ElNuevoEcuador 🇪🇨

SIG's Andréa Nicolau presented the methodology applied to map LULC in Imbabura, #Ecuador during the launch of this SERVIR Amazonia service which uses Google Earth's Cloud Score+. The Governor and Vice-Governor attended and applauded the tool for its future usefulness💡

🔴🇪🇨 Fundación EcoCiencia #SERVIRAmazonia Program’s local partner in #Ecuador and Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) along with Prefectura Ciudadana de Imbabura have co-developed a methodology that will contribute to land #covermapping . A freely accessible web platform, producing the first land cover map with a 10-meter res. 🙌🏼

Prefectura Ciudadana de Imbabura y Fundación EcoCiencia realizaron el lanzamiento del sistema de mapeo de coberturas integrando datos de radar y ópticos.

🛰️La herramienta fue creada con el fin de facilitar la gestión del territorio, mejorar las capacidades tecnológicas de la institución y, sobre todo, es un gran avance en la generación de información espacial para las zonas de la provincia.

La colaboración se realizó en el marco del Programa SERVIR Amazonia, parte de SERVIR Global, una iniciativa de desarrollo conjunto entre la Administración Nacional de Aeronáutica NASA y la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional USAID.
