Agricultural encroachment in protected livestock reserves in Burkina Faso

These maps are an excerpt from a study commissioned by SNV-Burkina Faso in 2022 on agricultural encroachment in two pastoral reserves in Burkina Faso- Sondre Est and Niassa (Both in the Zoundwéogo Province) using satellite imagery from the Sentinel 2 Satellite. The results of the study indicate a significant expansion of cropland within the boundaries of both protected livestock reserves between 2016 and 2021.
