INTRODUCTION TO CARPE MAPPER
Although much of the forest in the Congo Basin remains relatively intact‚ unsustainable
timber exploitation‚ shifting cultivation‚ urban expansion‚ and other
human drivers are posing increasing threats to this globally-significant
tropical forest resource. CARPE Mapper helps to monitor these threats and
assist conservation efforts by providing a focal point for CARPE partners
to provide and share spatial information on both land use and conservation activities.
The interactive map services focus on priority
landscapes. Additional data will be added to
the maps as datasets become available. If you are a CARPE partner and would like to contribute
data to CARPE Mapper please contact
us.

total of 36 GPS collars across elephant conservation areas in central
African forests. For more information click here.
