CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Analysis of the Drivers of Landcover and Landuse Change in Western Kenya over the Last 30 years

This document discusses analyzing the drivers of landcover and landuse change in western Kenya over the last 30 years. The objectives are to develop robust measures of landuse/landcover change and identify potential drivers. Quickbird imagery is being used to inventory agroforestry components and efficiently select sentinel landscapes and sites. Georeferenced 1983 aerial photos are being used along with recent climate data to quantify system dynamics over time for future monitoring. Challenges include estimating locations of ungeoreferenced samples and comparing remote sensing platforms. Preliminary results will be reported along with requirements for further study of the entire area.
