European satellite project predicts Moroccan desertification
The European project "EWALD" utilizes satellite data and probabilistic models to predict land degradation before it occurs, aiming to combat desertification in Morocco. The initiative focused on monitoring the expansion of desertification and the decline of ecosystems, especially in the Zagora region and the watersheds surrounding the Draa Valley, which suffer from soil salinity, water scarcity, and vegetation loss. Moroccan and Ukrainian researchers conducted field visits to verify the data and test the system, with the participation of academic and Friv organizations in training personnel on monitoring climate changes. The system aims to improve forecast accuracy using artificial intelligence techniques, comparing its outputs with trusted tools like "Trends.Earth," which is endorsed by the United Nations. This project opens new avenues for monitoring and analyzing land degradation and ensuring early intervention before major environmental damages occur.
