This atlas presents the Senegal Land Cover map, produced under the "Improving the resilience of the Sahelian populations to environmental changes - REPSAHEL" project, for a sustainable development of natural resources.
1/200,000 maps produced from satellite images (2013-2014) have been integrated in this work.
This book is part of other land cover and vegetation map atlases released under the REPSAHEL project for seven Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Chad). It will contribute to improving knowledge of the natural resources in these countries and their evolution to help decision-making on the programs, projects and adaptation actions to be implemented.
This atlas is also the product of the OSS/Senegal Centre de Suivi Ecologique (CSE) partnership. All data and thematic maps used, have been integrated in the information system of the REPSAHEL project.
