Historical Land Cover of emerging Northwest Mining Region of Ghana (2000)

This shows a decade landscape perspective of the emerging Northwest mining region after the Rio De Jeneiro Conference on Sustainable Development with a focus on environmental resources. This data would highlight the appreciable contributions of illegal mining and the begining of large-scale exploration activities in the area. The trends and patterns of these actitivities' interactions with biodiversity can be observed and monitored for impact remediation in the area. The environmental responsiveness and mining generating carbon stock concentrations can be monitored as well. The activities of illegal mining in relation to the environment, water and vegetation can be tracked and regulated.
