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. 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 TOOL
The Land and Agriculture Monitoring Project (LAMP) tool is a replica 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 four components are forest monitoring (forest gain/loss, derived from Landsat), crop monitoring with seasonal rice cultivation area in the 11 rice production regions/states in Myanmar, fire monitoring (hotspots and burned area, derived from MODIS), and mining monitoring (mine extension and its associated land-cover change and environmental impacts). 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
Beyond monitoring the performance of landscape-scale efforts and biophysical conditions on the ground, the LAMP tool offers valuable insight into the possible drivers of change — including environmental factors, urban expansion, infrastructure development, and mining-related land change and its associated environmental impacts.
Application Uses
The LAMP tool can be used to monitor the performance of landscape-scale efforts and biophysical conditions on the ground, and to track changes in the landscape and rice cultivation for food-security purposes in Myanmar. The same monitoring approach also supports observation of mining-related land change and its environmental impacts, helping to identify where extractive activity is reshaping the landscape.
