CARPE Mapper

by CARPE Administrator last modified 26-Mar-09 13:00

An interactive web GIS for the Congo Basin

Although much of the forest in the Congo Basin remains relatively intact‚ unsustainable timber exploitation‚ shifting cultivation‚ urban expansion‚ and other human drivers are posing increasing threats to this globally-significant tropical forest resource. CARPE Mapper helps to monitor these threats and assist conservation efforts by providing a focal point for CARPE partners to provide and share spatial information on both land use and conservation activities.

Landscape and Forest Elephant telemetry maps

Four of the 12 landscapes contain Forest Elephant telemetry data‚ provided by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). WCS are working with collaborators to deploy a total of 36 GPS collars across elephant conservation areas in central African forests.
