Abstract
A specialized project was established in Senegal in 1980, following an agreement between the government of this country, on the one hand, and FAO, UNEP, with the collaboration of NASA, on the other hand. The scope of the project was to test, on a real scale in a typical Sahel zone, the practical feasibility of a largescale rangeland monitoring project that would integrate various techniques of remote sensing with groud control, i.e. orbital, aerial and ground remote sensing.
