Publisher's Synopsis
The Sub-Saharan Africa Map Book illustrates how GIS technology is currently being used in Africa to manage economic instability, social conflict, healthcare management, conservation planning, and global warming. The maps feature the work of geoscientists throughout the region and cover a wide range of topics:
-Managing rangeland in Senegal
-Forecasting climate change in Nigeria
-Planning for sustainable land use in Zambia
-Conserving wildlife in Kenya
-Mapping humanitarian aid along the Ivory Coast
As these maps show, GIS technology is an integral tool for change-a platform for sharing information and data-that enables researchers, planners, and communities to work together to build a sustainable future
