Biodiversity Conservation and Protected Areas

A project focused on the utilization of satellite remote sensing data to improve the effectiveness of ecosystem-oriented multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), with a focused case study on a Ramsar Wetland and Man and Biosphere Reserve that straddles the Brazil-Uruguay border.

Sea Level Rise Impacts on Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance, v1 data provides a preliminary assessment, with input from NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data of coastal Ramsar Sites at risk of inundation as a consequence of sea level rise.  Included in the documentation are links to six case studies that were developed in 2002 as part of our since-retired Ramsar Wetlands Data Gateway.
