An information ecosystem is an extremely vast and cluttered space. What data exist? What data is up to date? What data is reliable? Who owns the data? Can I use the data without inflicting harm? Who are the data subjects? Many people across numerous sectors struggle with such questions and more. The land governance sector in India is no different. But somehow, it seems the land data ecosystem in India is more complex and controversial.

The habitat of tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) depends upon climatic conditions, host
availability and land cover characteristics. In this paper, the Land Cover Classification
System (LCCS), developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is proposed as a tool to harmonize
land cover mapping exercises carried out in the context of tsetse and trypanosomiasis
(T&T) research and control. Habitat modifications are

The main objective of the training workshop was to train the participants in reviewing and
analysing the remote sensing based forest classifications in their countries to facilitate the
harmonization and standardization at the sub-region and regional level and it included the
new demands of remote sensing based information for reporting to Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) in the year 2010. A supplementary objective was to inform the participants
about the proposed design and the implementation process of the remote sensing component

At the request of its member countries, FAO has been carrying out global forest resources assessments (FRA) since 1947, in collaboration with countries and other partners, notably the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The global FRA reports on the worldwide status and trends of forest resources, their management and uses. It is based on nationally validated data from national forest inventories and assessments.

Land cover maps constitute a necessary tool for development planning and management of the territory. Furthermore, land cover maps depicting the current reality are a must in countries where, due to political changes, rapid dynamic phenomena have taken place, resulting in a complete restructuring of the agricultural and other sectors, as in the case of Bulgaria.
The scale of such maps should be large enough to provide detailed information, however it should allow for regional assessment, statistics and subsequent planning. The 1:50 000 scale is the most suited for this exercise.

The Government of South Africa has a major holding of forest land, with a total estate
covering 892,000 ha of forest and associated land. Within the state's forest holding there is a
wide diversity of forest and land types including: commercial plantations and other afforested
land; indigenous forests; legally protected (indigenous) forest areas; and associated bare land.
This land is partly owned by the state and partly held on behalf of local communities, some of

The nature and significance of China's engagements with African agriculture continues to be hotly debated in the media, academia and policy circles around the world. Although China has been engaged in Uganda’s agriculture for more than 40 years, the recent jostle for agricultural land by private Chinese investors is dystifying and justifies the need to conduct a scientific study to provide clear evidence before the issue gets bundled into the messy anecdotal media inquiry.

‘I lost my land. It’s like I’m not a human being.’
Informes e investigacionesSeptiembre, 2011UgandaLondon-based New Forests Company (NFC) would seem to be the design blueprint of how a young modern company should conduct a major land investment in Africa in a responsible way. Oxfam’s investigations reveal that serious allegations by people who were evicted from land to make way for NFC’s operations remain unresolved. How will the company respond?
