Burkina Faso | Land Cover Maps Atlas

Burkina Faso | Land Cover Maps Atlas

This atlas presents the Burkina Faso land cover map, produced as part of the "Improving the resilience of Sahelian populations to environmental changes - REPSAHEL" project, for sustainable management of natural resources.

1/200,000 maps produced from satellite images (2013-2014) have been integrated in this work.

This book is part of other map atlases released under the REPSAHEL project for seven Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Chad). It will contribute to improving knowledge of the natural resources in these countries and their evolution to help decision-making on the programs, projects and adaptation actions to be implemented.

This atlas is also the product of the OSS/Ministry of the Environment and Fisheries Resources of Burkina Faso through CONEDD (National Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development).

All data and thematic maps used, have been integrated in the information system of the REPSAHEL project.
