Niger | Land Cover Maps Atlas

Niger | Land Cover Maps Atlas

The atlas presents the Niger land cover map, produced under the "Improving the resilience of Sahelian populations to environmental changes - REPSAHEL" project, for the 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 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/National Center for Ecological and Environmental Monitoring - CNSEE.

All data and thematic maps used, have been integrated in the information system of the REPSAHEL project.
