Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP)
Monitoring performance of landscape-scale efforts and biophysical conditions on-the-ground.
Ensuring ecological stability and biological productivity over large areas is critical for landscape management and conservation policy. USAID/Burma, along with other stakeholders, require insight and reports on the effectiveness of biodiversity and conservation-related project interventions. SERVIR Southeast Asia Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP) tool was developed in response to a need expressed by stakeholders, who require insight and reports on the effectiveness of biodiversity and conservation-related project interventions.
LAUNCH TOOLWATCH A DEMO VIDEO
The Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP) tool is replicate of the SERVIR SEA’s Cambodia Biophysical Monitoring and Evaluation Dashboard platform and consists of four key components. The default ‘biophysical monitoring’ layer evaluates changes in broad-scale biological productivity using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), a measure of relative biomass particularly suited to high-biomass areas of the globe, derived from MODIS multispectral data. The other three components are namely, forest monitoring (forest gain/loss, derived from Landsat), crop monitoring with seasonal rice cultivation area in the 11 rice production regions/states in Myanmar, and fire monitoring (hotspots and burned area, derived from MODIS). The user interface leverages the power of Google Earth Engine (GEE), a cloud computing platform that links extensive data archives with substantial processing power. With the continuous time-series feature, the user is able to select a baseline and evaluation period for each of the components as well as an identified area of interest which allows for easy comparisons between ‘before’ and ‘after’ intervention timeframes. The results can be exported in report-style format enabling decision-makers and non-technical users alike to directly use this analysis and information.
Application Purpose
Aside from monitoring performance of landscape-scale efforts and biophysical conditions on-the-ground, the Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP) Tool can provide valuable insights into the possible drivers of change such as climate change, urban expansion and infrastructure development.
Application Uses
The Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP) tool is currently being used by USAID/Burma to monitoring performance of landscape-scale efforts and biophysical conditions on-the-ground, monitor the change of the landscape and rice cultivation on-the-ground for food security purpose in Myanmar.
