Remote sensing –Beyond images
Mexico 14-15 December 2013
The workshop was organized by CIMMYT Global Conservation Agriculture Program (GCAP) and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Mexican Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), CGIAR Research Program on Maize, the Cereal System Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) and the Sustainable Modernization of the Traditional Agriculture (MasAgro)
During last year’s partnership meeting, partners asked whether GFW should monitor land and forest values beyond trees. Since then, several GFW partners have been developing new approaches for monitoring land cover, land use, and values such as biodiversity, carbon, and water. Discussion topics include: what are needs for a monitoring system beyond forest area (e.g. for climate and biodiversity)? What role should GFW play in advancing new monitoring approaches? Which monitoring needs should we prioritize first?

it is important to clean your chimney
twice a year for home improvement.
Most people neglect it because it is a
dirty job but a clean chimney can

The presentation made at the 3rd World Congress on Disaster Management (Visakhapatnam, India) focuses on Pragya (www.pragya.org) Initiatives in Community Preparedness & Risk Governance along with Disaster Mitigation Measures. It discusses Pragya model on institutionalised risk governance with participatory hazard & vulnerability mapping and continual monitoring, ecosystem based solution for disaster risk reduction, and decentralised disaster response with a joint people-state approach involving a culture of collaboration and co-decision, for early warning, evacuation and relief. The model is being piloted in the Indian Himalayas.
43 % of Earth’s terrestrial vegetated surface is degraded with limited capacity to supply benefits to humans.
Degraded landscapes often result in lower Soil Organic Carbon and overall poor soil health.
Understanding drivers of Land Degradation and processes of Soil Organic Carbon loss are key for informing effective interventions .
Mitigation and adaptation strategies for coping with the potential adverse effects of global climate change. If the predictions are right, we will be living with the effects of global climate change for the rest of our lives. Many countries are now making large investments in mitigation and anticipatory adaptation actions. Leaders recogniize that the effects of global climate change will likely increase the risks for people, businesses, and communities living in or located in coastal areas or in river floodplains.

An introduction to the emerging branch of Hydro-informatics Engineering.The presentation tries to highlight the salient points of this new specialization which involve contribution from various engineering ,science and management disciplines for the single objective of optimizing the utilization of water or water power resources.Various soft computation tools and techniques are generally used to achieve this objective.That is why, the knowledge of the subjects as well as the techniques are required to become an expert or professional from this stream.

3. TOPIC
THE USE OF REMOTE SENSING AND
GIS IN LOCATING RANCHES AND
ROUTES FOR HERDSMEN
4. WHAT IS REMOTE SENSING
Remote sensing is the science (and to some extent, art) of acquiring information about the Earth's
surface without actually being in contact with it. This is done by sensing and recording reflected or
emitted energy (from distant objects or materials, by which they may be identified and categorized by
class/type, substance, and spatial distribution of earth features) and processing, analyzing, and
applying that information.
5. WHAT IS GIS?
GIS are computerized tools for the acquisition, storage, checking, processing, manipulation,
analyzing and presentation of data, which are spatially referenced to the earth (Borough, 1986).
Its a systems used to carry out investigations by asking questions, and are used to proffer solutions
relating to environmental studies, intelligence applications, forestry, agriculture, medicine,
firefighting etc. These questions are:
The location question – Where is?
The condition question – What is?
The trend question – What has changed?
The routing question – Which is the best way?
The pattern question – What is the pattern?
The modeling question – What if?

7. CONFLICTS BETWEEN HERDSMEN
FARMERS
THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE FULANI HERDSMEN
IN THE NORTH AND THE FARMERS IN SOME OTHER
REGIONS FOR DECADES NOW HAS RESULTED IN THE
LOSS OF SO MANY INNOCENT LIVES, FOR EXAMPLE:
• NWEZE (2005) OBSERVED IN IMO STATE BETWEEN
1996 – 2005 ABOUT 19 PEOPLE DIED AND 42 INJURED.
• IN 2013, AT LEAST 206 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN
BENUE STATE AND THOUSANDS DISPLACED FROM
THEIR HOMES WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
• TWO KILLED IN EKITI LAST WEEK, GOVERNOR
BANS GRAZING.
• IN MANY AREAS OF THE NORTH CENTRAL GEO
POLITICAL ZONES UP TO 4000 LIVES HAVE BEEN
CLAIMED.

8. REASON BEHIND THESE CLASHES
ALTHOGH MANY MAY THINK THESE CLASHES ARE AS A RESULT OF RELIGIOUS OR
ETHNIC DIVERSITY. WE CANT DENY THE FACT THAT THE CHANGE IN CLIMATE PLAYS
A MAJOR ROLE .
SOME EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
• DECREASE IN CROP PRODUCTION
• POOR PASTURE PRODUCTION
• LOSS OF LIVESTOCK, DECREASE IN THE AVAILABILITY OF DUNG (EXPORTED RESOURCE)
• FINANCIAL LOSS FOR FARMERS. ETC
11. MAJOR CAUSES OF THESE CONFLICTS
CAUSES
• DESTRUCTION OF CROPS
• CONTAMINATION OF STREAM BY
CATTLE
• OVER GRAZING OF FALLOW LAND
• SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMEN BY
NOMADS
• HARASSMENT OF NOMADS BY
YOUTHS
• THEFT OF CATTLE
• INDISCRIMINATE BUSH BURNING etc.
EFFECTS
• REDUCTION IN OUTPUT AND INCOME
OF BOTH PARTIES (80% Nigeria’s food
grown by local farmers.
http://europe.newsweek.com/nigerias-new-security-threat-
herdsmen-farmer-conflict-motivated-climate-change-459528 )
• DISPLACEMENT OF FARMERS
• ARMS RUNNING
• LOSS OF PRODUCE AND STORAGE
• LOSS OF LIVES etc.
12. FUTURE EFFECTS IF LEFT UNCHECKED
• REDUCTION IN INCOME AND OUTPUT OF BOTH PARTIES
• DISPLACEMENT OF FARMERS
• INCREASE IN COST OF FOOD
• UNEMPLOYMENT
• ETHNIC WAR IN THE COUNTRY
• LOSS OF PRODUCE AND STORAGE
• ARMS RUNNING
• LOSS OF LIVES etc.
13. SOLUTION
THE GRAND COMMANDER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, PRESIDENT
BUHARI HAS DECIDED TO MAP OUT RANCHES AND PROVIDE ROUTES FOR
TRANSHUMANCE.
THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN…
14. …WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TECHNOLOGY, WE CAN
EASILY MONITOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND OBSERVE CHANGES OVER THE COUNTRY
WITHIN A PERIOD OF TIME AND PROBABLY MAKE PREDICTIONS BASED ON TRENDS.
15. THE PROCESS
STEP.1
OBTAIN DIFFERENT SATELLITE IMAGES OF THE STUDY AREA (FROM THE PAST TO
THE PRSEENT) AND CARRY OUT SUITABILITYANALYSIS ON LOCATING RANCHES
ACROSS THE STUDY AREA.
Image source: Landsat band 742
16. SUITABILITY ANALYSIS
SUITABILITYANALYSIS IS A
GEOGRAPHIC, OR GIS BASED PROCESS
USED TO DETERMINE THE
APPROPRIATENESS OF A GIVEN AREA
FOR A PARTICULAR USE.
SUITABILITY IS DETERMINED THROUGH
A SYSTEMATIC MULTI-FACTOR ANALYSIS
OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE
TERRAIN. WITH PHYSICAL, CULTURAL
AND ECONOMIC FACTORS CONSIDERED,
THE RESULT IS OFTEN DISPLAYED ON A
MAP USED TO HIGHLIGHT AREAS FROM
HIGH TO LOW SUITABILITY, ANSWERING
THE “WHERE IS THE BEST LOCATION ?”
QUESTION.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3717158
17. STEP.2
OBTAIN A LAND COVER LAND USE MAP
OF THE STUDY AREA.
A LAND COVER MAPS PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO HELP MANAGERS
BEST UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT
LANDSCAPE, IT INDICATES THE
PHYSICAL LAND TYPE AND FEATURES
SUCH AS VEGETATION OR OPEN WATER
ETC.
image source: http://www.w3.org/1999
18. STEP.3
OVERLAYING THE SUITABILITYANALYSIS MAP WITH THE LAND COVER
LAND USE MAP.
TO HELP IMPROVE THE RESULT, AND IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCES AND
SIMILIARITIES BETWEEN THE PRESENT LAND USE AND THE POTENTIAL
LAND USE.

19. CONCLUSION
THIS SOLUTION WOULD HELP IMPROVE THE ECONOMY IN MANY WAYS SUCH AS
PREVENTING ANY FUTRE UNNECESSARY CONFLICTS AND DEATHS BETWEEN THE
HERDSMEN AND THE FARMERS. IT WOULD ALSO LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THE
QUANTITY OF LOCALLY PRODUCED FOOD ETC. ALL OF WHICH ULTIMATELY
IMPROVE THE ECONOMY OF OUR COUNTRY.
THANK YOU.
