Más de la mitad de la superficie total de Kirguistán sirve de pasto para sus 1,7 millones de bovinos y 6,3 millones de ovejas y cabras. Muchos pastos están sometidos a la degradación causada por el sobrepastoreo y agravada por el cambio climático.
El presente estudio establece una comparación entre las condiciones medias de los pastizales de 2000-2004 y 2016-2020 utilizando índices espectrales basados en el Landsat y un modelo de elevación digital. El análisis de teledetección tuvo en cuenta los tipos de pastos, los períodos de pastoreo, las altitudes y un conjunto de datos con mediciones de campo.
Los resultados muestran que las condiciones de los pastizales a principios de siglo eran mejores que en los últimos cinco años.
El evento se transmitirá solo en inglés.

Using the maps
The results of this study informed the update of the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - its commitments to reducing emissions and adapting to changing climate in line with the Paris Agreement. The livestock sector analysis of the NDC update includes maps and statistics of this study.
The maps can also be used to prioritize areas for pasture rehabilitation, inform pasture management plans, and can feed into greenhouse gas inventories.
Joint collaboration
The maps were produced by the Climate Resilience Cluster of the Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD CR) initiative, a programme of the European Space Agency (ESA), in partnership with IFAD and German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
Valuable insights and data have been provided by the NGO Camp Alatoo, UNIQUE Company, the Kyrgyz State Agency for Land Resources and the FAO PRAGA project. The IFAD country team and staff of IFAD-funded Livestock Markets Development Programme II have supported this work as well.
Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD)
The programme funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) aims to promote the usage of Earth observation-derived information in sustainable development. The initiative is organized in seven thematic consortia of companies whose task it is to provide geospatial tools, data and services to international finance institutes, such as IFAD. The “Climate Resilience” cluster of the programme has supported IFAD’s portfolios in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Lesotho. The cluster holds expertise on geospatial assessments on climate change adaptation and hosts a data platform called ADAM. The collaboration between IFAD and the Climate Resilience cluster of the programme started in the summer of 2019.
This webinar is organized by the IFAD GeoGroup.
