Kenya Atlas of Our Changing Environment
Kenya: Atlas of Our Changing Environment, produced at the request of the Kenya Government, provides visual and compelling evidence of the rapid changes taking place in the country's critical ecosystems due to pressures from human activities. The side-by-side display of historical and current remote-sensing images highlight forest degradation, wetland drainage, and shrinking lakes to the impacts of refugees on fragile ecosystems and signs of coastal degradation. The Atlas provides a good evidence base for strategic intervention by the government and communities.

The ENDELEO project
The ENDELEO project was started from the realization that access to satellite data should be facilitated and barriers to its use lowered as much as possible. As such, ENDELEO aims at providing natural resources managers and any other stakeholders with the necessary tools to help resource managers to better understand and monitor their environment and its dynamics over time.
Through ENDELEO UNEP, DRSRS, RCMRD, the University of Ghent and the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) together with multiple stakeholders, joined hands to provide tools to aid local management of ecosytems, including rangelands, crop lands and forests
