Development of Ascension Environment Information Operations Utility

UK Department for International Development (DFID)

Abstract

This project will assist the Government of Ascension Island with synthesizing existing information from land jurisdiction, environmental mapping and monitoring, geological and cultural data with new land cover data into a single manageable framework. Additional protocols will be provided for updating, managing and applying this information. Portals will be available to schools and for public use as a learning and information resource. Resulting maps will provide Ascension with the means to implement their plan for Green Mountain National Park, home to many native and culturally important species, and other protected areas, and integrate environmental monitoring information with other island data for strategic and routine planning and management.
