Grasslands and rangelands cover more ground than any other land use on Earth, but until now, mapping and monitoring those lands has been challenging. We’re changing that, by creating high-resolution maps of global grasslands and pastures and their productivity. These maps will offer valuable insights for land management, food production, and combating climate change. 

Join this webinar, hosted by the Global Pasture Watch Consortium, to be amongst the first to see the preliminary results of our research applied to specific regions in the Brazilian Cerrado and Argentina Chaco. You’ll hear directly from the experts undertaking this research as they provide an overview of the project and discuss a number of Latin American case studies. 

The webinar will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish and Portuguese. 

The Global Pasture Watch Consortium includes: 

  • Land & Carbon Lab 
  • LAPIG at the Federal University of Goiás 
  • OpenGeoHub Foundation 
  • International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) 
  • Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) laboratory at the University of Maryland 
  • Cornell University 
  • German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv)
