Schut, V. T. |
The Guiana Shield region contains more than 25% of the worlds tropical rainforests, most still in pristine condition. The Guiana Shield Initiative is working to preserve this ecologically important and unique area of the earth. In order to do so, up-to-date and accurate information is needed a greater part of which could be fulfilled by the development of a suitable monitoring system based on remote sensing methods.
