Syria EM | Deforestation and Agricultural Degradation Indicator

[Holly-Transport]

*New analysis:*

· Would be possible to explore the relationship between proximity to roads and increased deforestation (see https://www.mdpi.com/2073-445X/12/8/1509) and assess overlaps between fire-affected and deforested areas using NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System?

focus on recent reports indicating potential desertification in the northeast. We could also examine the trends in deforestation ratios across the country (and by region) (see Axed and Burned: How Conflict-caused Deforestation Impacts Environmental, Socio-economic and Climate Resilience in Syria)
