Land cover change map of Kolombangara

The Danish-based Geographic Resource Analysis and Science (GRAS) service provider, selected by ESA, supplied the European Investment Bank with this mosaic of satellite images, based on SPOT and Quickbird, to help it monitor the progress of a re-plantation project on Kolombangara, a small island located in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. Replanting the forests began in 2007 and will continue until 2011.
