Conservation value of multiple-use areas in East Africa.
Despite wide agreement that strictly protected areas (World Conservation Union categories I-III) are the best strategy for conserving biodiversity, they are limited in extent and exclude many species of key conservation importance. In contrast, multiple-use management areas (categories IV-VI), comprising >60% of the world's protected-area network, are often considered of little value to biodive...
متن کاملEvapotranspiration Mapping in a Heterogeneous Landscape Using Remote Sensing and Global Weather Datasets: Application to the Mara Basin, East Africa
Actual evapotranspiration (ET) is a major water use flux in a basin water balance with crucial significance for water resources management and planning. Mapping ET with good accuracy has been the subject of ongoing research. Such mapping is even more challenging in heterogeneous and data-scarce regions. The main objective of our research is to estimate ET using daily Moderate Resolution Imaging...

متن کاملDevelopment and Assessment of a Geographic Knowledge-Based Model for Mapping Suitable Areas for Rift Valley Fever Transmission in Eastern Africa
Rift Valley fever (RVF), a mosquito-borne disease affecting ruminants and humans, is one of the most important viral zoonoses in Africa. The objective of the present study was to develop a geographic knowledge-based method to map the areas suitable for RVF amplification and RVF spread in four East African countries, namely, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia, and to assess the predictive accu...
متن کاملDetermination of Suitable Areas for underground Dam Construction Using Boolean and Fuzzy Logics in Central Areas of Ardebil Province
In the arid and semi-arid area's rainfall have considerable changes in terms of time and amount that make the water resource management an important issue. In this research, using both Boolean and Fuzzy logic were zoned potentiality suitable areas for construction of underground dams. The study area is located in the central region of Ardabil province with 7461 km2 area and semi-arid climate. F...
