Abstract
Three research projects, supported by the NASA Land Cover and Land Use Change (LCLUC) Science Program have been conducted in the Central America and Mexico (Mesoamerica) region. The first two projects were conducted in Northern Guatemala (Maya Biosphere Reserve) and the Southern Yucatan Peninsular Region (SYPR) of Mexico. The third project, focused on the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, had broader coverage over the entire Central American region under a cooperative research memorandum of understanding between NASA and the environmental ministers of the seven Central American countries.
