In our most recent newsletter, SERVIR-Amazonia launched a service catalogue with an overview of the geospatial services that we are co-developing with our partners. Over the last two years, we have brought diverse stakeholders from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Guyana together to identify their development problems and design solutions that use satellite data, Earth science, and geospatial technologies. The resulting services are tailored, needs-based decision-support products (tools, data sets, training resources and capacity building activities) that our partners are about to use to improve environmental decision-making. Discover our summary poster and our services.
