[Geo4All] Geo Data, Urbanisation, Climate Changes and Tropical Africa

[Dan Bwanika]

Forum

Africa in its efforts to develop, what were once Dense Tropical
forests are now turning into human settlements. This is where geo data
science comes in handy.

Most African countries do not have animal, insect and plant genetic
data banks or museums.

It’s a double tragedy now that climate change too is impacting this
region negatively. The dense Tropical forests have helped Africans to
survive in many different ways with medicinal plants and different
types of forests foods that unfortunately are undocumented.

This knowledge is crucial for sustainable development and can be lost
if Geo Data Science does not establish its footprint here. Typical
forest people with base knowledge is also rapidly disappearing.


Best Wishes

Daniel Bwanika.
