The Bangassou project includes portions of three sub-prefectures (Bangassou, Bakourna, and Rafai) in the prefecture of Mbomou. Along an east-west axis, the area extends over approximately 190 km at its widest east/west extent, and 140 km from north to south. The land area included in the proposed project zone is estimated at about 16,500 km, although the forest area has been estimated at around 9,500 km2. The project zone has been chosen to incorporate most of the forest cover within the Bangassou Massif, as well as areas of forest-savanna transition. The Bangassou project area, is sparsely populated, with an average of 1.4 persons per square km. Most settlement is located in the southern and southwestern portions of the site.

Examples of current and planned research activities at the Bangassou site include:

With funding from US Fish & Wildlife Service, WWF has carried out a mammal census to establish baseline data for long-term management plans;
With UNDP/GEF funding, WWF or other collaborators (to be selected) will work with local communities to demarcate controlled resource-use zones, establish ecological monitoring systems and management plans;
NASA will provide Landsat imagery of forest cover of the region, and will provide available historical imagery to show forest cover change over time;
Elephant researchers will conduct genetic and population studies investigating mingling of savanna and forest elephant subspecies; and
Social scientists will study traditional resource use methods and examine potential for these to be incorporated into conservation strategies in the Bangassou region.

At the time this documentation was produced, research activities at the site were stalled due to the political situation in the Central African Republic.

Project Description:

The purpose of the Global LandCover Test Sites (GLCTS) project is to develop a multitemporal and multi-resolution satellite data set for a selection of global test sites to support the research development of land cover characterization and the testing and validation of improved algorithms for EOS. The sites selected represent a wide range of global land cover types, are well characterized on the ground with on-going field-based monitoring programs, and are of interest to the international global change research community. The primary component of the data set will be historical and recent Landsat data and a series of daily AVHRR 1km data acquisitions in a 500 Km by 500 Km window centered on the site. Digital elevation data and land cover information will be also included for each site.

As with all the Pathfinder projects, this activity will help provide experience with which to develop the data and information system for EOS. In particular, problems associated with developing registered multi-resolution and multi-source data sets, providing tools for data extraction, and developing the appropriate metadata and information management systems will be addressed. The targeted user-community for this product includes: researchers developing regional and global scale land cover assessments; researchers developing improved algorithm for surface parameterization; and field scientists working at the test sites wanting to explore the application of remote sensing.

Site Description:

The Bangassou project includes portions of three sub-prefectures (Bangassou, Bakourna, and Rafai) in the prefecture of Mbomou. The project zone has been chosen to incorporate most of the forest cover within the Bangassou Massif, as well as areas of forest-savanna transition. Research at the site is to include large animal surveys, establishment of ecological monitoring systems, and long-term management plans based on traditional resource use.

Data Format and Organization:

Data are distributed on a series of low and high density 8 mm tapes, organized by data type. A copy of this header file is the first record on each tape and it will also include specific format and organization data for each tape.

Tape 1 (ancillary, gif, dem data and first 1/3 of AVHRR data):

Readme/header file

Ancillary Data: A full text description of the ongoing research at the site and a listing of available LANDSAT scenes.

Landcover Map GIF Image:

DD> DEM in UTM projection, north up orientation: Datum used to create the DEM.

DEM in UTM projection, north up orientation: Datum used to create the DEM. GTOPO30 has a horizontal grid spacing of 30-arc seconds (0.0083333333 degrees). The horizontal coordinate system is decimal degrees of latitude and longitude referenced to WGS84. The vertical units represent elevation in meters above mean sea level. The elevation values range from -407 to 8,752 meters. In the DEM, ocean areas have been masked as "no data" and have been assigned a value of -9999. Lowland coastal areas have an elevation of at least 1 meter, so in the event that a user reassigns the ocean value from -9999 to 0 the land boundary portrayal will be maintained. Due to the nature of the raster structure of the DEM, small islands in the ocean less than approximately 1 square kilometer will not be represented.
